With advancements in functionality and transmission technologies, mobile phones not only serve as a distribution platform, but also enable content production and consumption anytime, anywhere. Juxtaposed with the engagement of social media, the extent and effects of mobile communications are amplified, for instance through the use of Twitter, Facebook and YouTube in U.S. and Iran elections, as well as in the demonstration for religious freedom by Uighur Muslims in China. In addition, we combine innovation with tradition by expanding the perspective to expose global mobile scholars to ICTD within the Asian research context to take advantage of the conference location in Singapore. 2130 International Communication Association Executive Committee Meeting Tuesday 08:00-12:00 Room 301 Sponsored Sessions Chair Barbie Zelizer, U of Pennsylvania, USA Participants Francois Cooren, U de Montréal, CANADA Larry Gross, U of Southern California, USA Patrice M.

The crisis communication research has emphasized the study of crisis response strategies, what managers say and do after a crisis hits. Clearly there is a need to understand the crisis response, however, the antecedents of crisis communication have been largely neglected. Crisis antecedents include prevention, preparation, and appreciation of the variables that can shape later crisis responses. The preconference addresses the need for crisis antecedent research. A collection of international scholars will outline an agenda for research in crisis antecedents. The panelists will stimulate discussion by focusing on particular aspects of crisis antecedents. Participants will be part of the discussion for building a more detailed agenda. The outcome of the preconference will be a specific agenda for advancing crisis antecedent research including topics, methods, and potential research partnerships. 2208 Tuesday 09:00-17:00 National Library Board Innovations in Mobile Use Sponsored Sessions Participants Out of Touch?

Campbell, U of Michgan, USA This preconference aims to showcase new scholarly work examining definitional, operational and practical issues related to the study of new forms of social capital, with particular emphasis on case studies and applications beyond the US context. The proliferation of social media, online games and other platforms for online and mobile socializing suggests an increased importance of communication research for the study of social capital and its implications. The aim of this preconference is to promote research into new forms of social capital and examine technological affordances of different social media platforms. Furthermore, we invite submissions examining the emerging hybrid forms of informal sociability, and discussing the (continued) importance of physical proximity and face-to-face contact for the creation and maintenance of different forms of social capital. 2211 Tuesday 09:00-17:00 Wee Kim Wee School of Communication Doctoral Consortium of the Communication and Technology Division Sponsored Sessions The Communication and Technology (CAT) Division proudly announces the first-ever Doctoral Consortium to be held in conjunction with the 2010 Conference of the International Communication Association. The consortium intends to bring together PhD candidates working on Communication and Technology to give them the opportunity to present and discuss their research in a constructive and international atmosphere. The goals of the event are to provide feedback and advice to participating PhD candidates on their in-progress research thesis. Moreover, the doctoral consortium will provide the opportunity to meet experts as well as fellow PhD candidates from different backgrounds working on related topics. During the consortium, students will be invited to present their work, following which they will receive feedback from their fellow students and faculty participants, all of whom will have read the proposals in advance of the Doctoral Consortium. In addition, one faculty participant will be assigned to respond in detail to each proposal. Besides the presentations of proposals, there will also be discussion of other topics such as ethics, research methods, publishing the thesis, and positioning one's work for the job market. There will also be a variety of social activities in the program. 2212 Media Literacy Education in Asia: New Developments Tuesday 09:00-17:00 Ngee Ann Polytechnic Sponsored Sessions Chair Renee Hobbs, Temple U, USA Participants Wen Xu, U of Hong Kong, CHINA, PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF Jung-Ym Ahn, Seaoul Women's U, KOREA, REPUBLIC OF Fiona Jia, Shenzhou Media Literacy Education, CHINA, PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF Jiwon Yoon, Temple U, USA Brian Lee, SIM U, SINGAPORE Respondent Chi-Kim Cheung, Hong Kong U, CHINA, PEOPLE‘S REPUBLIC OF Media literacy education has been developing rapidly in Asia, with substantial exploration of this field by scholars and practitioners. Several universities in China now offer graduate degrees in media literacy education. In South Korea, there is significant government support for media literacy education. In Hong Kong, the government recently funded a large-scale research project to determine the impact of media literacy education on youth attitudes, knowledge and behavior. The Singaporean government has mandated media literacy as well. How is media literacy education being conceptualized in Asian nations? What are the unique characteristics that distinguish the motivation to practice media literacy education in China, South Korea and Hong Kong? What are the opportunities and challenges that media literacy educators face in these nations? 2217 Tuesday 09:00-17:00 Singapore Health Promotion Board Health Communication Campaigns: Issues and Strategies in Asia, Australia, and Southeast Asia Sponsored Sessions Chairs David B.

Wakefield, The Cancer Council Victoria, AUSTRALIA Systematic, evidence-based, theoretically-driven, locally-focused health communication campaigns have the capacity to achieve population-level change. Hosted by the Singapore Health Promotion Board and the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication at Nanyang Technological University, the preconference will bring together ICA members conducting research on health communication with practitioners, researchers and funders of health communication campaigns in Asia, Australia, and Southeast Asia. It will be held at the Health Promotion Board premises in the compound of the Singapore General Hospital and organized around recent theoretical and empirical reviews on health communication campaigns and differences in the ways they are funded, planned, implemented, monitored and evaluated. In highly interactive sessions, Participants will address unique regional issues, including applicability of models relying on norms and risk perceptions, cultural diversity and literacy, campaign planning and evaluation, selection of community channels, and logistical and political considerations that pose challenges to health communication campaigns. 2218 Tuesday 09:00-17:00 Singapore Management U Global Public Relations and Strategic Communication: Envisioning the Interplay of Culture and Communication Outside the Two-Way Symmetrical Box Sponsored Sessions Participants Richard C. Stanton, U of Sydney, AUSTRALIA Marina Vujnovic, Monmouth U, USA Katerina Tsetsura, U of Oklahoma, USA Chiara Valentini, U of Aarhus, DENMARK Respondent Dean Kruckeberg, U of North Carolina - Charlotte, USA This panel takes advantage of the international setting to explore how diverse cultural perspectives impact communication with publics. One must assume each society/culture would have something to offer to public relations, and these contributions do not have to be overlaid on contemporary Western public relations as a baseline, e.g., two-way symmetry. Panelists will explore alternative visions of the role of public relations in society that bring contributions from indigenous cultures and will discuss applications to global public relations, strategic communication and public diplomacy. 2232 The 'Chindia' Challenge to Global Communication Tuesday 09:00-17:00 Room 303 Sponsored Sessions Participants Oliver Boyd-Barrett, Bowling Green State U, USA Yuezhi Zhao, Simon Fraser U, CANADA Peng Hwa Ang, Nanyang Technological U, SINGAPORE Bella Mody, U of Colorado, USA Zhengrong Hu, Presidents Office, CHINA, PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF Vibodh Parthasarathi, Jamia Millia Islamia, INDIA Xin Xin, U of Westminster, UNITED KINGDOM Participant The 'Chindia' Challenge to Global Communication Daya Thussu, U of Westminster, UNITED KINGDOM The transformation of communication and media in China and India - the world's two most populous countries and fastest growing economies - has profound implications for what constitutes the 'global'. Jairam Ramesh, currently India's Environment Minister, is credited with the notion of 'Chindia', representing what has been termed as the 'rise of the rest'. The combined economic and cultural impact of 'Chindia', aided by their worldwide diasporas, is creating globalization with an Asian accent, a phenomenon that is likely to influence globalized media and its study. Though both countries have experienced different trajectories of growth in recent decades and represent two distinct political and media systems, they also demonstrate interesting similarities. The rise of 'Chindia' offers exciting opportunities as well as challenges to media and communication researchers. This preconference aims to bring together scholars from around the world, especially from China and India, to examine and explore this phenomenon. 2233 Researching (Popular) Media in the Age of Convergence: Methodological Innovations in the Study of Contemporary Media Industries, Texts, Technologies, and Audiences Tuesday 09:00-21:00 Room 304 Sponsored Sessions Chair Cornel Sandvoss, U of Surrey, UNITED KINGDOM Participants John Hartley, Queensland U of Technology, AUSTRALIA Jean Burgess, Queensland U of Technology, AUSTRALIA Axel Bruns, Queensland U of Technology, AUSTRALIA Lucy Montgomery, Queensland U of Technology, AUSTRALIA Linda Duits, U of Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS Marlene Wolf, U of Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS Knut-Arne Futsaeter, TNS - Gallup, NORWAY CarrieLynn D.

Stockard, California Lutheran U, USA Lynn A. Comella, U Nevada - Las Vegas, USA Stacie Furia, Northland College - Ashland, USA Denise D. Bielby, U of California - Santa Barbara, USA Cornel Sandvoss, U of Surrey, UNITED KINGDOM The processes of digitization and deregulation have transformed the production, distribution and consumption of information and entertainment media over the past three decades. Today, researchers are confronted with profoundly different landscapes of domestic and personal media than the pioneers of qualitative audience research that came to form much of the conceptual basis of Cultural Studies first in Britain and North America and subsequently across all global regions. The process of media convergence, as a consequence of the dual forces of digitisation and deregulation, thus constitutes a central concept in the analysis of popular mass media. From the study of the internationalisation and globalisation of media content, changing regimes of media production, via the social shaping and communication technologies and conversely the impact of communication technology on social, cultural and political realities, to the emergence of transmedia storytelling, the interplay of intertextuality and genre and the formation of mediated social networks, convergence informs and shapes contemporary conceptual debates in the field of popular communication and beyond. However, media convergence challenges not only the conceptual canon of (popular) communication research, but poses profound methodological challenges. As boundaries between producers and consumers are increasingly fluent, formerly stable fields and categories of research such as industries, texts and audiences intersect and overlap, requiring combined and new research strategies. This preconference aims to offer a forum for the presentation and discussion of methodological innovations in the study of contemporary media and the analysis of the social, cultural and political impact and challenges arising through media convergence. 2234 Cultural Research and Political Theory: New Intersections Tuesday 09:00-17:00 Room 305 Sponsored Sessions Chair Penelope Ann O'Donnell, U of Sydney, AUSTRALIA Participants Vivian Hsueh-Hua Chen, Nanyang Technological U, SINGAPORE Esther Chin, U of Melbourne, AUSTRALIA Kate Crawford, U of New South Wales, AUSTRALIA Tanja Dreher, U of Technology Sydney, AUSTRALIA Anders Esmark, Roskilde U, DENMARK Terry Flew, Queensland U of Technology, AUSTRALIA Lewis A.

Alongside well-known experiments with new forms of public deliberation and debates on the public sphere in the 1990s and 2000s, there has been much new work in political theory that rethinks the reference-points of political practice (Fraser, Benhabib and so on). Meanwhile, researchers in cultural studies and communications have become increasingly interested not only in questions of citizenship and democracy in general, but specifically in the role that popular culture and everyday communications play in helping us imagine, enact and sustain the new forms of practice that political theory proposes, for example the work of Lauren Berlant, Michael Warner, Henry Jenkins and the current CRN-funded 'Listening Project' in Australia.This preconference seeks to bring together researchers and communication practitioners interested in how cultural research can invigorate political theory, and vice versa, around the specific focus of defining the terms and means of contemporary politics within and beyond the horizon of neoliberalism.

Syamasundari, Dastkar Andhra, INDIA YeonJu Oh, Bowling Green State U, USA Women are increasingly filling "gaps" by formally and informally acquiring such skills and sliding in and out of various work contexts. Such women's labor is termed as "precarious labor" by feminists examining these issues. Precarious labor draws on notions of immaterial, free, digital and consumer labor articulated by scholars such as Negri and Hardt. Such workers play a crucial role in helping the transition to "globalization" in various ways. They help develop global labor practices and co-create communicative processes and work environments.Capitalizing on ICA's location for 2010 conference (Singapore) which is potentially accessible to representatives of women and men who work in such environments in the Global South, we would like that this preconference brings together researchers, practitioners and activists who work on issues related to Women's Labor from the Global South. 2237 Intercultural Dialogue Tuesday 09:00-17:00 Room 308 Sponsored Sessions Chairs Kristine L. Fitch, U of Iowa, USA Donal Carbaugh, U of Massachusetts, USA Todd L. Sandel, U of Oklahoma, USA Evelyn Y. Ho, U of San Francisco, USA Sponsored by the Language and Social Interaction Division and the Intercultural Communication Division, this day-long preconference serves as a follow-up and continuation of the 2009 NCA Summer Conference on Intercultural Dialogue held in Istanbul, Turkey. Scholars throughout the world who study issues related to intercultural communication often use a variety of terms and terminology that are specific to a particular geographic area and disciplinary history. In order to cross cultural boundaries and dialogue about these issues, it is essential that we understand one another's terms. In this preconference, we will examine real intercultural communication encounters in an effort to establish and define the key terms that international scholars use to understand these dialogues. 2430 International Communication Association Annual Board of Directors Meeting Tuesday 13:00-17:00 Room 301 Sponsored Sessions Chair Barbie Zelizer, U of Pennsylvania, USA Participants Francois Cooren, U de Montréal, CANADA Larry Gross, U of Southern California, USA Patrice M.

This is the elementary fact that I am referring to with the word "hyper-communication," and I refrain from saying that hyper-communication is either a very good or a very bad thing. The frequency with which we talk to other persons face-to-face, that is in mutual physical presence, has most likely not increased - but it has probably also not dramatically declined during the past decades. If we have more opportunities to communicate than ever before, in the sense of conducting interactions based on the use of natural languages, then this increase is clearly a function of technical devices whose effects neutralize the consequences of physical and sometimes also of temporal distance. Some of us old ones feel that this is simply too much - and that, at the same time, it is not enough presence. If the process of Modernity has largely been a process of disenchantment, we have now written "Rational Re-enchantment" on our revolutionary banners. But I am fully aware that this is but another Gray Panthers' revolution. 2916 ICA's 60th Annual Conference Opening Welcome Reception Tuesday 19:30-21:30 Concourse Sponsored Sessions 3120 The Obesity Crisis: Tipping the Balance in Children's Energy Intake and Expenditure Through Media Wednesday 08:30-09:45 Room 201 Children Adolescents and Media Chairs Sandra L.

How Evidence Can Help Balance Contrary Pressures on Public Policy in the Case of Junk Food Advertising to Children Sonia Livingstone, London School of Economics, UNITED KINGDOM Respondent Sandra L. Calvert, Georgetown U, USA The media are often blamed for the worldwide crisis of overweight and obese children. However, media can also be a positive force in curbing the obesity epidemic. This roundtable discussion addresses the question of how we can use and regulate the media to tip the balance in children's energy intake and expenditure. Based on Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems model, participants bring various levels of expertise to frame how media can be used and regulated at a: (1) micro level by parents (e.g., advertising mediation, consumer communication), (2) meso level by media presentations and marketing approaches (e.g., advergames, exergames, characters), and (3) macro level (e.g., social policy). After short presentations by the panelists, Professor Sandra Calvert will integrate the findings of the differing levels of environmental factors and discuss other levers to curb the obesity crisis. The audience will then be invited to contribute to the discussion. 3123 Discourse on Blackness: Racial Textuality in Alter Spaces and Counterpublics Wednesday 08:30-09:45 Room 204 Ethnicity and Race in Communication Popular Communication Chair Radhika E.

Under the conditions of a Media Society, increasing importance is attached, especially, to public trust, understood as the attribution of trust or distrust by public communications to persons, organizations, institutions and systems exposed to public perception. Strong trust and reputation effects can be observed especially in times of crisis. The aim of this panel is to create a rationale for the fundamental significance of trust and reputation for business organizations on the basis of new theoretical concepts and empirical research. It will show how the current financial crisis affects trust in organizations, how it influences their reputation and the role the media play within these processes.

There are at least four ways that the expression "convergence" has been deployed and its meaning solidified-as a description of new synergy (a "horizontal" realignment) among media companies and industries, as the multiplication of "platforms" for news and information, as a technological hybridity that has folded the uses of separate media into one another (e.g., watching a television broadcast on a cell phone), and as a new media aesthetic involving the mixing of documentary and non-documentary forms. This Roundtable raises questions about and provides alternatives to these recent conceptions of "convergence culture." It is particularly skeptical about the overuse of the term and the limited ways that accounts of the term have conceptualized "convergence" and "culture" It seeks to demonstrate how the term 'convergence culture' is capable of carrying a range of meanings that have not as yet been fully mapped. 3126 Studies in Persuasive, Mediation, & Legal Discourses Wednesday 08:30-09:45 Room 207 Language & Social Interaction Chair Torsten Reimer, Purdue U, USA Participants Talking About Sustainability: Responses to Frames in Persuasive Messages About Sustainable Agriculture and Food Baldwin Van Gorp, K.U.Leuven, BELGIUM Margot van der Goot, Radboud U - Nijmegen, THE NETHERLANDS Modeling Face-to-Face Conflict Mediation Andrew Craig Tollison, U of Texas, USA Erik W Green, U of Texas, USA Madeline Maxwell, U of Texas, USA Emily Richardson, U of Texas, USA References as Indication of Being On-Task/Off-Task in the Course of Mediation Sessions Alena L.

De Vreese, U of Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS This panel presents findings from the first wave of the German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES) which was conducted during the 2009 German national election campaign. The focus hereby lies on theoretical and methodological innovations in campaign research. While the first two papers analyze how televised ads affected the evaluations of candidates and issues laying a focus on the distinction between personalized and not-personalized TV ads, the other two papers analyze the effects of televised debates giving special attention to the stability of effects over time and to the state of involvement on the recipients' side. The papers base on data which were gathered with different methods (content analysis, survey data, continuous response measurements) within the GLES. This combination of data sources allows the examination of the mentioned research questions with appropriate strategies of analysis in order to help to expand the state of research on effects of campaign communication. 3134 Celebrity, Audiences, and Media: The Politics of Personality Wednesday 08:30-09:45 Room 305 Popular Communication Chair Joel Penney, U of Pennsylvania, USA Participants What Were They Thinking?!

Therefore, there are discussions about whether to revise the laws separately or to integrate all the relevant laws. In addition to revising the relevant laws, there are also discussions about the necessities of integrating the regulators. China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and Taiwan all have converged services such as IPTV. However, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan have not granted mobile TV licenses after their public consultations. The panel will discuss the converged services' challenges to the current telecommunications laws and broadcasting laws and the relevant regulators by citing experiences from China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and Taiwan. 3141 Gendered Discourses and Networks of Science, Technology, and Modernity Wednesday 08:30-09:45 Room 312 Feminist Scholarship Chair Koen Leurs, Utrecht U, THE NETHERLANDS Participants (Dis-)Performing "Western Civilized Humanness" Christopher Gamble, U of Washington, USA Cybermasculinity of Parody Cultures in DC Inside Jungmin Kwon, U of Illinois, USA Performing Gender and Ethnicity in Sociotechnological Networks Koen Leurs, Utrecht U, THE NETHERLANDS Young Swedish Female Top-Bloggers and the Performance of Authentic Selves Mia E.

Toyoko Sato, Copenhagen Business School, DENMARK Nonfiction image discourses in contemporary society present visual scholarship with some of the most interesting challenges both in terms of analyzing and making sense of it. The hybridization of non-fiction and its amalgamation with fictional genres and approaches constantly forces us to revisit customary distinctions and their broader impact. Loaded (or 'burdened') with a host of expectations and implicit norms of traditional documentary forms contemporary hybrid forms of 'factual' based discourses, visual practitioners don't seem to be that bothered about crossing borders between fiction and non-fiction. Furthermore new technologies, converging media and an ever increasing hybridization of genres and subgenres continue to force researchers to revisit their positions and insights. This panel examines new forms and borderline cases of non-fiction with the aim to address new forms of visual communication and their impact on both society and visual scholarship. 3230 Telecommunication Policy and Development Wednesday 10:00-11:15 Room 301 Communication and Technology Chair Jan Fernback, Temple U, USA Participants Telecommunications Reform and Network Expansion: Lessons From APEC Countries Chen-Ling Hung, National Taiwan U, TAIWAN Ching-Chih Lu, National Cheng-Chi U, TAIWAN Benjamin Yeo, Milken Institute, USA The Economic Impact of Information and Communication Technologies on Microenterprises in the Context of Development Mark Levy, Michigan State U, USA Han Ei Chew, Michigan State U, USA P.

Within the often contradictory and always dynamic spaces of globalization, the politics of participation and representation are integrated into various discourses of nationalism, national security, commercial logic, entertainment, or counterpublics. By discussing the politics of participation in the production process of various media forms (personal videos, television programs, and the radio soap opera) the panel explores the complex relationship between production and consumption, audience as the "citizen-subject" and audience as the subject of "national culture". 3238 Media Framing of International Events Wednesday 10:00-11:15 Room 309 Mass Communication Chair Seungahn Nah, U of Kentucky, USA Participants Metaframes and Transnational Homogenization in News on Trade Negotations: One Frame to Rule Them All?

Byerly, Howard U, USA Claudia Mellado, U of Concepcion, CHILE This working roundtable will explore the theoretical and empirical aspects of developing cross-national and cross-cultural research on women and media, the difficulties that may arise when different contexts are compared, data collection methods that have been (or might be) tried, and the potential applications of findings that may emerge from collaborative projects. The session will be led by two international scholars who developed their own working relationship in a recent cross-cultural study on women and media. The three-part structured discussion will follow this format: I. Macro concerns (e.g., globalization) with respect to women and media. Question: How should research situate women when examining major changes such as concentration of ownership, globalization of industries, and smaller work forces within media industries? (Leader: C. Mellado) II. Culture, language, and politics in crossnational gender research. Question: How can research designs accommodate challenges related to cultural and other differences among the countries being studied? (Leader: C. Byerly) III. Funding and managing the cross-cultural study. Question: What are the practical considerations of raising funds and coordinating collaborative research on women and media among researchers in several nations? (Leaders: C. Byerly & C. Mellado) 3242 University 2.0? The Challenges of Web 2.0 in Higher Education Wednesday 10:00-11:15 Room 313 Instructional & Developmental Communication Participants Bridging Critical Theory and Design Learning: Social Media and Generative Pedagogy Megan Boler, U of Toronto, CANADA Danielle Lottridge, U of Toronto, CANADA Towards 2.0: Encouraging Emerging Technologies Sherman Young, Macquarie U, AUSTRALIA Digital Literacies and the Media Studies 2.0 Debate Graham Meikle, U of Stirling, UNITED KINGDOM Tweaching in the Gong: Thinking Through Twitter as an Educational Tool Jason Wilson, U of Wollongong, AUSTRALIA This panel explores the uses of Web 2.0 technologies in higher education teaching and learning. Its four papers explore emerging Web 2.0 pedagogies in tertiary education and address particular political, cultural and technological challenges. Discourses emerging around new media technologies have precipitated parallel conversations in ideas of learning and teaching — the Web 2.0 label is mirrored in ideas of Education 2.0 (Keats & Schmidt 2007) or Media Studies 2.0 (Gauntlett 2009, Dovey & Lister 2009, Merrin 2009) which reconfigure pedagogical approaches to incorporate more participatory models. As audiences become users and readers become writers, educators need to rethink graduate capabilities to confront new digital literacies. 3243 Culture and Emerging Social Technologies Wednesday 10:00-11:15 Room 314 Intercultural Communication Chair Stephen Michael Croucher, Bowling Green State U, USA Participants A Cross-National Study of Social-Networking Services Between the U.S. and Korea Dong-Hee Shin, Sungkyunkwan U, KOREA, REPUBLIC OF Yeolib Kim, U of Texas, USA Cross-Cultural Study of Emerging Interpersonal Norms of Text Messaging in India and United States Robert Shuter, Marquette U, USA Sumana Chattopadhyay, Marquette U, USA Gendered Avatars: Representation of Gender Differences Between Cartoonish and Simulated Online Role Playing Games in Taiwan Chia-I Hou, U of Wisconsin, USA The Exploratory Study for the Consideration of the Interplay Between Japanese Interpersonal Psychology and the Behavior on CMC Sangmi Kim, Nagoya U, JAPAN Respondent Peter S.

The four papers use a range of methodologies to explore what is effective health practitioner-client communication with an emphasis on the client voice. The panel explores the problems experienced in health practitioner-client communication and the potential impact of these problems. The papers then examine the implications of their findings for training in health practitioner communication. The papers illustrate the value that different theoretical and methodological approaches can provide in increasing our understanding of health practitioner-client communication. 3246 New Member and Graduate Student Orientation to ICA and the Conference Wednesday 10:00-11:15 Theater Sponsored Sessions Chairs Michele Cheng Hoon Khoo, Nanyang Technological U, SINGAPORE Malte Carlos Hinrichsen, U of Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS Participants Barbie Zelizer, U of Pennsylvania, USA Francois Cooren, U de Montréal, CANADA Michael L.

Celebrating and Blaming Business During the Global Financial Crisis in Australian Journalism Michael Stuart Bromley, U of Queenslands, AUSTRALIA The Press and the Financial Crisis: The Watchdog That Didn't Bark Dean Starkman, Columbia Journalism Review, USA Respondent Howard Tumber, City U London, UNITED KINGDOM The aim of this panel is to provide a number of theoretical, historical and empirical contributions examining and analysing the global media's coverage of the international financial and economic crisis and the framing of the interpretative debate on the causes. The global financial crisis 2007-2009 exposed the fragility of the world economic system and the downside of globalisation. The worst economic downturn since World War II led to unprecedented intervention by governments in propping up the financial system and the world economy, with new forms of global economic governance emerging. How well did the media cope with the emerging crisis? Using comparative data gathered from a number of countries media content, the papers comprising this panel attempt to asses how well the ideals underpinning journalistic and news media practices were upheld during the period of the crisis. 3337 Rethinking Development Communication Wednesday 11:30-12:45 Room 308 Global Communication and Social Change Chair Robert Huesca, Trinity U, USA Participants Advocacy Communication: Using Communication to Advocate for Structural and Normative Public Benefit Karin Gwinn Wilkins, U of Texas, USA Developing a Video-Based Approach to the Most Significant Change Evaluation Methodology Melissa M.

The panel will bring together a set of expert scholars on the constitution of Asian organizations, hailing from diverse parts of Asia, North America, and Europe. 3446 ICA/AMIC Joint Plenary Wednesday 13:00-14:15 Theater Sponsored Sessions Chair Barbie Zelizer, U of Pennsylvania, USA Participant The Transnational Communication of "Racism": Migration, Media and the Shaping of International Relations Ien Ang, U of Western Sydney, AUSTRALIA The past two years has seen an escalating diplomatic row between India and Australia over a series attacks on Indian students in Australia. While Indian media were quick to report these attacks as "racist", official responses in Australia tended to downplay the occurrence of racial motivations in these attacks. This to-and-fro dance of accusation and denial of "racism" has resulted in a spiral of signification which has sharpened national cultural divides. The case study shows how the complex entanglement of cultural nationalism and transnational mobility is mediated through inherited discourses of race and "racism", in a time when (post)colonial power hierarchies are being unsettled in a rapidly changing world, especially in the Asia Pacific region. 3520 Constructing Discourses of Identity: Diaspora, Nation, and Nationalism Wednesday 14:30-15:45 Room 201 Ethnicity and Race in Communication Chair Jillian M.

Semetko, Emory U, USA The topic of this panel is the identity of journalism in a changing communication environment. Since the proliferation and dissemination of new communication roles in the World Wide Web many researchers and journalists have asked the question what the future of traditional journalism will be and if there is a future in the first place. The panelists will address this general issue from different viewpoints and based on different evidence of their own. The papers focus on the relationship between journalists and the audience within Web 2.0, the changing role definitions and role perceptions of journalists and its consequences, especially concerning the core competence and function of journalism, and to the real interaction between traditional journalism and Internet sources. The panel wants to develop a theoretical and practical framework for the future of journalism. 3523 Communications Research in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand Wednesday 14:30-15:45 Room 204 Sponsored Sessions Chair Terry Flew, Queensland U of Technology, AUSTRALIA Participants Aligning Research and Scholarship With Education, Industry and Policy: Australian Instances Stuart Duncan Cunningham, Queensland U of Technology, AUSTRALIA Looking Both Ways: Communication Research in Australia Sue Turnbull, La Trobe U, AUSTRALIA Communication in Aotearoa New Zealand: Interdisciplinarity and Fields of Study Alison Mary Henderson, U of Waikato, NEW ZEALAND Mary Louisa Simpson, U of Waikato, NEW ZEALAND Celia Kay Weaver, U of Waikato, NEW ZEALAND Communication in Aotearoa New Zealand-Situated Scholarship: Engaging Globally and Acting Locally Alison Mary Henderson, U of Waikato, NEW ZEALAND Mary Louisa Simpson, U of Waikato, NEW ZEALAND Celia Kay Weaver, U of Waikato, NEW ZEALAND The Australian and New Zealand Communications Association (ANZCA) celebrates its thirtieth anniversary in 2010. This panel will involve leading researchers from Australia and New Zealand in critical reflection upon some of the distinctive features of the field as it has developed in the two, and some of the current developments and future challenges facing communications research in the region. Issues to be considered include: the institutional location of communication studies teaching and research; the impact of cultural studies on the field; shifting forms of research support; the question of "vocationalism" and links to industry and government; the difficulties in getting "local" research recognized in international circuits of knowledge production and distribution; and the relationship of communication to relations between indigenous and settler populations. 3524 Nothing More Than Feelings? Public Relations and the Rise of Emotions Wednesday 14:30-15:45 Room 205 Public Relations Chair Augustine Pang, Nanyang Technological U, SINGAPORE Participants Promoting Public Relations Values: Emotional Labor in the Age of Transparency Katerina Tsetsura, U of Oklahoma, USA Emotional Stakeholders: A Threat to Organizational Legitimacy? Vilma L. Luoma-aho, U of Jyväskylä, FINLAND The Role of Emotion in Crisis Communication and Strategic Conflict Management Yan Jin, Virginia Commonwealth U, USA Glen T. Cameron, U of Missouri, USA Pathos and PR Oyvind Ihlen, BI Norwegian School of Management, NORWAY Public relations as a field is interested in impressions that shape interaction and collaboration, and these are often formed on the basis of affect and emotions. The level of public involvement in organizational affairs is changing with the introduction of various social media, and publics today do not only want to participate, but show and express emotion for better or worse. This places new pressures on public relations practitioners, who in this emotion work- environment have to balance not only their own but the emotions of different stakeholders in good times and crises. This international panel studies the timely topic of emotions in the context of public relations from four angles: practitioners' pressures, stakeholders' emotions, crises situations coping strategies and the rhetoric level of emotions as part of the message. The panel suggests public relations to play a key role in organizational survival in the era of heightened emotions. 3525 Maintaining Strong Relationships: Navigating Distance, Power, and the Internet Wednesday 14:30-15:45 Room 206 Interpersonal Communication Chair Sachiyo Morinaga Shearman, East Carolina U, USA Participants The Role of the Internet in Maintaining Intimate Relationships Ellen Johanna Helsper, London School of Economics, UNITED KINGDOM Monica Therese Whitty, Queen's U Belfast, UNITED KINGDOM Monica Gerber, London School of Economics and Political Science, UNITED KINGDOM Geographic Distance and Communication During Courtship Laura Stafford, U of Kentucky, USA Conversational-Dominance and Ambiguity-Generation as Factors in Predicting Perceived Power: A Study in Chinese Heterosexual Partners Tang Shing Tung, Chinese U of Hong Kong, CHINA, PEOPLE‘S REPUBLIC OF Yin Zhang, School of Journalism and Communication, CHINA, PEOPLE‘S REPUBLIC OF A Relational Orienting Typology for Sibling Dyads: Biological Relatedness, Identity, and Parenting Practices as Predictors Melissa Ann Tafoya, U of Connecticut, USA Mark A.

Featuring new work within communication and cultural studies, the papers on the panel each examine a specific case of the 'racing' and/or 'gendering' of affective labor—the work of online raters that produces 'digital reputation,' female information professionals, contestants on America's Next Top Model, and African American consumers of the Cadillac—to explore the implications of affective labor for continuing struggles over race and/or gender as well as the limits both theoretical and political of the concept as they are revealed in the details of such examinations. Given its thematic focus on race and gender concerns, the panel seeks cosponsorship by the Ethnicity and Race in Communication and Feminist Studies divisions of ICA. 3530 CMC Theory: Tests and Explorations Wednesday 14:30-15:45 Room 301 Communication and Technology Chair Malcolm R.

Andrejevic, U of Iowa, USA This panel explores the ways in which recent developments in commercial broadcasting shape emerging representations of the nation and national identity and belonging. It explores the impact that the marketing of nationalism has on commercial broadcasting and, in turn the influence that commercialism has on the portrayal of national identity. It argues for the salience of the notion of "commercial nationalism" in considering media developments in the post-cold war era. Drawing on international case studies it argues that an understanding of commercial nationalism is crucial to an interpretation of the political and cultural implications of recent developments in broadcasting in many parts of the world, including regions where state and public interest broadcasters have ceded the ideological field to commercial interests. 3535 Top Papers in Organizational Communication Wednesday 14:30-15:45 Room 306 Organizational Communication Chair Dennis K.

These global magazines attract a large percentage of the advertising revenue in these markets, and thus local magazines must now compete for advertising dollars with the global media. This panel will explore the growth of men's and women's fashion magazines in selected Asian countries. Specifically, panelists will examine the types of images being shown to Asian audiences and the types of products being advertised in international as well as local magazines. By calling on a panel of scholars from Japan, Korea, and Taiwan we hope to offer insights into how magazine advertising is shaping consumer culture in this region. 3539 The Ecologies of the City: Urban Matters of Communication Wednesday 14:30-15:45 Room 310 Sponsored Sessions Chair Thom Gencarelli, Manhattan College, USA Participants The Urban Communication Environment: A Model of Displacement Gary Gumpert, Urban Communication Foundation, USA Susan Drucker, Hofstra U, USA Lewis Mumford's Ecology of Cites and the "Destiny of Megalopolis" Peter Haratonik, The New School, USA The City as Counter-Environment in an Age of Sprawl Thom Gencarelli, Manhattan College, USA Toward a Gastronomical Ecology of the Global City Casey Lum, William Paterson U, USA Virtually Urban: Modeling the City and the Public Benjamin Hodges, U of Macau, CHINA, PEOPLE‘S REPUBLIC OF Icts And Ethnic Modernities: Rural-Urban Mobility And Space Anthony Y.H.

Cities, by definition, provide a communication environment. Physical spaces in a city, the structures and spaces in which humans function and dwell constitutes and facilitates the domain for symbolic and social interaction. The electronic, typographical, auditory and/or visual connection and dissemination of information are the environments of connection and transmission. The physical urban environment and the media environment comprise the total communication environment. This panel seeks to explore the totality of that environment and its ecological nature. 3540 Comparative Research in Communication Law & Policy Wednesday 14:30-15:45 Room 311 Communication Law & Policy Chair Thomas Hanitzsch, U of Munich, GERMANY Participants Introduction: How to Compare Media Policy and Regulation Manuel Puppis, U of Zurich, SWITZERLAND Leen S.

The tempo and scale of changes in the communication scene intensified in the past decade as the political reform was joined by the forces of globalization and new media developments which have brought about more changes in the social and cultural dimensions. This panel gathers a number of recent studies in communication in China to showcase communication research in China today. Of the themes covered include the following: trends in international communication research; developments and features of mobile newspapers (e-news); the Internet and political participation; media and social class identity; and glocalization and global reach of CCTV. 3543 Interpersonal Processes Across Cultures Wednesday 14:30-15:45 Room 314 Intercultural Communication Chair Margaret Miller Butcher, USA Participants Exploring Differences and Similarities in Predictors and Use of Upward Influence Tactics in Two Countries Isabel C.

Tetsuro Kobayashi, National Institution of Informatics, JAPAN The Exposure of Video Contents on the Mobile: Focusing on the Change the Behavior of Video Content Viewing Sangmi Kim, Nagoya U, JAPAN Including the advancement of IT, Mobile is transformed into lifestyle infrastructure. In this Session, we consider the social and cultural implication of media convergence with respect to mobile phone usage of Japanese youth from the diverse points of view. Widely known around the world for the views of collectivism, Japan is generally regarded as one of the most group-oriented culture in the world. However, it would seem that these kinds of image of Japanese are quickly slipping among the Japanese youth, meaning they are more like individualized and intend to be aloof. Participants of this session use the results of nation-wide surveys conducted respectively to explore the associations between the Japanese youths' culture including social psychology and networking and the engagement of mobile communication. We will also discuss how we can develop the theoretical framework to draw the relationship for more cross-cultural based research. 3622 Journalism Studies Business Meeting Wednesday 16:00-17:15 Room 203 Journalism Studies 3623 Constructing Civic Identity in Communicative Spheres of Belonging Wednesday 16:00-17:15 Room 204 Ethnicity and Race in Communication Philosophy of Communication Chair Ingrid Volkmer, U of Melbourne, AUSTRALIA Participants Problematic Citizenship: Arab Speakers in the European Union Christina Slade, City U London, UNITED KINGDOM Seeking Ontological Security Beyond the Nation: The Role of Transnational Television Myria Georgiou, London School of Economics, UNITED KINGDOM Youth Publics and Construction of Citizenship in a Transnational Space Ingrid Volkmer, U of Melbourne, AUSTRALIA Globalism, Localism, Vocalism: Constructing Civic Literacy Across Digital Divides Kirsten Drotner, U of Southern Denmark, DENMARK This panel will discuss new formations of civic identity in the contextual framework of transnational public spaces. In the advanced stage of a networked global public, civic identity is constantly discoursively re-negotiated and re-conceptualised, not so much vis- a- vis a national or even a 'global' public but rather across often ritualised sets of 'publics of belonging.' Presentations will address this concept in four perspectives: the translocal communicative negotiation of civic identity among Arab communities in Europe, forms of 'communicative' civic belongings through the lens of ''ontological security" and identify new communicative cultures of diaspora, emerging generational specific transnational publics in their relevance for the formation of global and local citizenship. The panel presentations will conclude with a debate of new conceptions of civic literacy. 3624 Visualizing the Crowd in American Culture Wednesday 16:00-17:15 Room 205 Visual Communication Studies Chair Michael S. Griffin, Macalester College, USA Participants "The People" in Jackson Era Lithographs: Caricatures of Poverty and Citizen (In)Action Brandon Inabinet, Furman U, USA "Yes We Can": Public Figures and the Photographic Representation of Obama's Crowd in the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election Walter Patrick Wade, Northwestern U, USA Mass Publics and Spectacular Citizenship: The American Music Festival Caitlin Bruce, Northwestern U, USA Same Events, Two Stories: Comparing the Photographic Coverage of the 2008 Anti-China/Olympics Demonstrations in Chinese & U.S. Newspapers Ying Huang, Southern Illinois U - Carbondale, USA Shahira S. Fahmy, U of Arizona, USA Respondent Michael S. Griffin, Macalester College, USA The representation of crowds has a long and complicated political history. Crowds are representative of a variety of different aggregate political or social groupings: they can represent "the people" of popular sovereignty, the public, a social movement, a protest, a congregation, an audience of popular entertainment, or a mob. As a result, the manner in which collectives are represented in visual mass media has consequences for the judgments that public audiences pass on particular crowds, enabling or constraining individual participation in collective political action. This panel examines this tension and others by analyzing Jackson-era political cartoons, 1960s and contemporary music festivals, and the 2008 U.S. presidential election. The overall goal is to understand how public audiences come to identify themselves with or distance themselves from the various collective groups that make up social and political life. Furthermore, it asks how such relationships differ across time and social space. 3625 Diverse Approaches to Understanding the Impact of Self-Perceptions in Interpersonal Episodes Wednesday 16:00-17:15 Room 206 Interpersonal Communication Chair Amanda J.

Craig, U of Colorado, USA Philosophical pragmatism has been a significant substream in the history of ideas and an important influence on communication research - from John Dewey via James Carey to John Durham Peters. Recently, a "New Wave of Pragmatism in Communication Studies" (Bergman, 2008) has been gaining momentum. This panel brings together some of the central contributors to this new wave, addressing the applicability of the pragmatist tradition to research questions currently facing the field. 3630 ICT Adoption and Diffusion Wednesday 16:00-17:15 Room 301 Communication and Technology Chair Lidwien van de Wijngaert, U of Twente, THE NETHERLANDS Participants Online Photo Sharing as Mediated Communication Anne Oeldorf-Hirsch, Pennsylvania State U, USA S.

Studies to be presented on this panel suggests that argumentativeness, as form of assertiveness, is influenced by several cultural factors and can manifest itself directly or indirectly in different cultures. Specifically, in Asian countries, indirect arguments are preferred in order to promote social harmony. The panelists will share their findings of both qualitative and quantitative research from three distinct national cultures including Thailand, Japan, and Australia. The presenters represent both insiders and outsiders from the cultures they studied and thus will provide both emic and etic views on the targeted intercultural phenomenon. At the end, the panelists hope to open up a dialogue with participants to gain better understandings of argumentativeness and indirectness as a preferred form of communication in certain cultures. 3644 Entertainment Research: Theoretical Developments and Empirical Explorations Wednesday 16:00-17:15 Room 325 Information Systems Chair Peter Vorderer, U of Mannheim, GERMANY Participants Media Enjoyment and Appreciation: The Role of Perceived Cognitive and Emotional Challenge in Entertainment Experience Anne Bartsch, Martin Luther U Halle, GERMANY Mary Beth Oliver, Pennsylvania State U, USA Synchronization Theory, Flow, and Media Entertainment Rene Weber, U of California - Santa Barbara, USA The Role of Coping Styles for Media Enjoyment and Appreciation Helena Bilandzic, U of Erfurt, GERMANY Matthias R.

But only within the past few years there has been a growing interest in new theoretical approaches that try to differentiate, elaborate, and sometimes even overcome the more "traditional" ways of thinking and theorizing about exposure to entertainment. This panel brings together scholars from the US and Europe who have suggested new ways to theorize and research entertainment through media. 3645 Health Communication Division Business Meeting Wednesday 16:00-17:15 Room 326 Health Communication Chair David B.

Although factors such as 'language attitudes' have been identified as contributing to this shift, there has been little research into what this means in theory and practice, and how it operates across the diverse language communities of the world. Also, although various individual attempts have been made to 'revitalise' languages there has been little comparative research to identify effective policies and practices that can bolster linguistic vitality and support threatened languages. This symposium will take a multidisciplinary approach to explore the forces behind language endangerment and what can be done to respond to them at various levels, and to increase language vitality within communities. 4126 Identity: Linguistic, Cultural, and Intercultural Aspects Thursday 08:30-09:45 Room 207 Language & Social Interaction Intercultural Communication Chair Young-ok Yum, Kansas State U, USA Participants Context, Reconceptualization, and the Emergence of Meaning in Intercultural Communication Barbara Lewandowska-Tomaszczyk, Lodz Academy of International Studies, POLAND Corpora, Cognitive Linguisitics, Discursive Construction of Identities Barbara Lewandowska-Tomaszczyk, Lodz Academy of International Studies, POLAND Jerzy Tomaszczyk, U of Lodz, POLAND Oh That Hurts!

Nevertheless, details of these changes are barely debated. There are important structural differences and commonalities in the Latin American media profession, features that should be revisited and reassessed across national realities for an improved understanding of the region's journalism cultures. Using different methodological approaches and various perspectives on a diverse sample of Latin American countries, this panel analyzes contrasting and contemporary journalism cultures of the region, offering an overview of ongoing scholarly media projects in Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, and Peru. Altogether, the papers portray differences and similarities on various levels of Latin American journalism, mainly journalistic and professional news media roles, community participation through news, reflections of journalistic dynamics in newsrooms, and factors related to press freedom and credibility across the region's news media practice. 4225 Using Statistical Procedures Wisely: Challenges and Opportunities Thursday 10:00-11:15 Room 206 Interpersonal Communication Chair Mike Friedrichsen, Stuttgart Media U, GERMANY Participants Important Considerations in Multi-Level Modeling Hee Sun Park, Michigan State U, USA Latent Profile Analysis: Using Categorical Variables in a Structural-Equation Model Masaki Matsunaga, Rikkyo U, JAPAN The Validity of Statistical Conclusions: Issues to Consider Timothy R.

Overall, the panel seeks to address many important questions with regard to the consumption and perceptions of foreign TV news: What are the determinants of exposure to and the evaluation of such news? How does exposure relate to the evaluation of the news? Why do people watch foreign news in different countries, and which topics they find most interesting? The panel will also map the interest in news about other countries (news geography) and assess whether news contents correspond with people's interests. Some of the survey findings will be related to the findings of a comparative content analysis that was presented at the 2009 ICA conference. 4239 Theorizing About Framing and Agenda Setting Thursday 10:00-11:15 Room 310 Mass Communication Chair Wanda Luen Wun Siu, Chinese U - Hong Kong, CHINA, PEOPLE‘S REPUBLIC OF Participants Agenda-Setting: Awareness, Salience, Priority, or Just Cognitive Priming?

Open Space proposes a relational mode rather than a fixed object. Open Space is where technologies, people, and places converge. This Open Space/ Singapore/ Southeast Asia session probes the complex, fluid relationships between performance, performativity, soundscapes, testimony, music, and participatory content. This convergence between testimony and technology produces exciting and unexpected contingent spaces. 4243 The Intersections of Cultures, Communication, and Conflicts in Organizational Settings: Case Studies in China, Africa, and Taiwan Thursday 10:00-11:15 Room 314 Intercultural Communication Chair Pei-Wen Lee, Shih Hsin U, TAIWAN Participants The Impact of Values and Identities on Cross-Cultural Conflicts and Their Management in Multinational Corporations Wenshan Jia, Chapman U, USA Hong Fan, Tsinghua U, CHINA, PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF Jianbin Jin, Tsinghua U, CHINA, PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF A Three Cultures Model Approach to Understanding Organizational Communication: A Case Study of a Multi-National Organization Herbert Blankson, Ohio U, USA Claudia L.

This panel intends to examine intercultural communication behaviors and challenges occurring in different organizational settings (e.g., multicultural corporations, multinational organizations, joint ventures, hospitals, and workplaces for migrant labors) due to the influences of national, personal, and organizational cultures. Through this panel discussion, we aim to advance individuals' understanding of effective intercultural communication and conflict management in order to create and maintain an organizational environment that leads to work and relational success. 4244 Measuring Meaning: Semantic Network Analysis of Discourse Texts Thursday 10:00-11:15 Room 325 Information Systems Chair Jan Kleinnijenhuis, Vrije U - Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS Participants Semantic Network Analysis Bridging Between Texts and Categories: An Analysis of Views on Advanced Life Science Aiko Hibino, Tokyo U, JAPAN Automated and Manual Abstraction of Populist Rhetoric in Political News Coverage Wouter van Atteveldt, Free U - Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS Janet Takens, Vrije U - Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS Tracing Desire and Thematic Relations With Semantic Network Analysis Leo Kim, Methodology Institute LSE, UNITED KINGDOM Communicative and Cognitive Meaning: Using Semantic Network Analysis for Comparing Public Discourse and Personal Understandings of EU Politics Christian Baden, U of Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS Respondent Kenneth Benoit, Trinity College Dublin, IRELAND Measuring the semantic meaning of texts in a reliable yet valid way remains one of the prime challenges in communication research. Semantic network analysis (SNA) is a family of techniques capable of processing large text corpora in an automated fashion, while retaining the subtle patterns of contexts embedded in discourse texts. This panel addresses the key challenges SNA needs to meet to be a useful addition to the methodological repertoire of communication researchers: Two papers focus on the validity of measured meaning, combining textual and categorical data and juxtaposing different coding techniques. The other papers explore SNA's ability to relate measured meanings to (social-)psychological and other conceptualizations of semantics. All papers highlight pressing methodological issues that arise from the treatment of diverse discourse data and propose new solutions. The panel aims at demonstrating the utility and flexibility of SNA applications in communication research and suggests avenues for further methodological development. 4245 Culture, Communication, and Health Thursday 10:00-11:15 Room 326 Health Communication Chair Cindy Gallois, U of Queensland, AUSTRALIA Participants How Communication Among Residents and Community Institutions Impacts Health Literacy and Health Care Access in Diverse Ethnic Neighborhoods Matthew D.

The presentations focus on the impact of perfect and imperfect individuals in conjunction with their body images. Furthermore, the panel depicts so far underrepresented subpopulations: First of all the manner in which older adults are presented in TV-advertisement is investigated analytically according to the content and the images. Moreover, the panel examines the (re)presentation of Paralympics athletes in print commercials and thus evaluates the reception of imperfect bodies. All contributions are concerned with the consequences of the presentation of body images in the media particularly with regard to the constitution of the viewers and readers social relations. It is shown that recipients mostly have an analytical and critical view to visual presentations of bodies. They frequently feature a reflected handling of mediatized body images as well as of predominant ideals of beauty. 4321 Intersectionality: Ethnicity, Race, Gender, and Sexuality Thursday 11:30-12:45 Room 202 Ethnicity and Race in Communication Chair Robeson Taj Frazier, U of Southern California, USA Participants Hollywood's Not in Hollywood: The Transformative Effects of Global Film Markets on Asian Masculinity and Representation Michael K.

They will share some of the issues of managing the fieldwork in contexts with different expectations for human subjects, translating material, interpreting findings that involve translation, and presenting their findings to multiple language audiences. They hope attendees with similar experiences or plans to work with such data will engage in a good discussion of best practices and challenges. 4327 Top Student Papers in Public Relations Thursday 11:30-12:45 Room 208 Public Relations Chair Chun-ju Flora Hung, Hong Kong Baptist U, CHINA, PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF Participants Linking Agenda-Building Efforts and Public Opinion: An Exploration of the Relationships Among Gubernatorial Communications, Media Coverage, and Job Approval Ratings Maria De Moya, U of Florida, USA Ji Young Kim, U of Florida, USA Spiro K.

Stemming from Davison's notion of the third person effect, the presumed influence hypothesis has been tested in a variety of contexts: This panel features speakers representing five of ICA's divisions- Mass Communication, Political Communication, Health Communication, Public Relations and Journalism Studies that report on advances in examining the "presumed influence" hypothesis in their fields of study. The aim of this panel is to try to create crossdisciplinary discourse on perceptions of media influence, and to update scholars from different divisions on progress in research on the presumed influence hypothesis in other subfields. 4332 Deliberation, Information, and Political Participation Thursday 11:30-12:45 Room 303 Political Communication Chair June Woong Rhee, Seoul National U, KOREA, REPUBLIC OF Participants A Path From the Internet to Political Participation: How Deliberation and Postmaterial Values Influence Civic Engagement Minha Kim, Sungkyunkwan U, KOREA, REPUBLIC OF Yunkyoung Shin, Sungkyunkwan U, KOREA, REPUBLIC OF Discussing Politics Online: The Interactive Relationship Between Offline Political Talk and Online Political Discussion Soo Young Bae, U of Michigan, USA Nojin Kwak, U of Michigan, USA Scott W.

While such differences can be local, globalization has increased the incidence and types of distinction. In many countries, popular media adopt an "Otherizing" discourse via verbal and visual representation. The purpose of this international panel is to examine this important, understudied topic. It focuses on representations of and by "Others" in the less studied contexts of Eur-Asia and The Pacific. Advertising, newspapers, and television programming are considered, both quantitatively and qualitatively, based on interviews, observation and content analysis. Othering discourses explored includes: identity construction, stereotyping, exoticization, fetishization, demonization, and symbolic annihilation. Per the conference theme, presentations emphasize political and cultural challenges raised by media mis/representations, and work to compare outcomes between the study contexts. This will be facilitated by a moderator's brief commentary and panelist response. 4335 Group Communication in Organizations Thursday 11:30-12:45 Room 306 Organizational Communication Chair Hongmei Li, U of Pennsylvania, USA Participants Network Centrality and Similarity of Discourse: A Sociosemantic Approach to Leadership Johanne Saint-Charles, U of Quebec - Montréal, CANADA Pierre Mongeau, U du Québec a Montréal, CANADA Marie-Claude Perrault, U of Quebec - Montréal, CANADA Diversity Management Through Intergroup Concertive Control: A Bona Fide Group Study of Employee Network Groups Jane Stuart Baker, U of Alabama, USA The Impact of Characteristics of Face-to-Face Communication on Online Interactions in Hybrid Teams Xuan Zhao, Cornell U, USA Leadership Within the Wire: Comparing Leadership in Virtual Teams and Online Multiplayer Gaming Clans Anu Sivunen, Helsinki U of Technology, FINLAND Marko Siitonen, U of Jyvaskyla, FINLAND Respondent Torsten Reimer, Purdue U, USA 4336 Agenda Setting, Global Politics, and Historical Continutiy Thursday 11:30-12:45 Room 307 Global Communication and Social Change Chair Xi Cui, Texas A and M U, USA Participants Historical Continuity and Discontinuity: How Do the Chinese and Indian Media Construct Globalization?

Michael Andrew Keane, Queensland U of Technology, AUSTRALIA Copyright and Creative Innovation in China: An Evolutionary Approach? Lucy Montgomery, Queensland U of Technology, AUSTRALIA Competition and Innovation: Independent Production in China's TV Market Bonnie Rui Liu, Queensland U of Technology, AUSTRALIA The papers in this panel investigate the relationships between media and creative economy in China. In the 11th Five Year Plan period (2006 - 2010) China entered into a phase of economic and social transformation in which terms such as 'independent innovation', 'soft power' and 'creative industries' are frequently used by central and local government. While the central government is calling for more innovation and creativity, new media technologies are providing people with the actual means to be more creative, whether this be 'rebellious' forms of expression such as Internet parody, social network market activities, or the reuse and exploitation of technological devices and networks for the development of grassroots communities and low cost business ventures. These developments offer new possibilities for personal expression, social engagement and grassroots transformation. 4338 Cultivation Analysis and Cultural Studies: The Mainstreaming of Opposed Traditions?

Multi-Stakeholder Struggles Over Expression on Social Networking Sites Sonia Livingstone, London School of Economics, UNITED KINGDOM The internet and other network technologies have offered unprecedented access to information and communication to many people - including children. Over the past decade, debates have emerged in many countries about the extent to which child protection and child safety online balance concerns about protecting freedom of speech, as well as privacy, for both children and adults. All of these concerns are currently influencing decisions about internet governance at national and international levels. This panel provides comparative, international perspectives on this issue and reveals how debates about child protection, online child safety, privacy, and freedom of expression are at the core of debates about the internet's future as an open, accessible, and reliable global communications and information source. 4341 Researchers Making Sense of Virtual Worlds: Discussion Concerning the Methodologies/Methods of Studying Virtual Worlds Thursday 11:30-12:45 Room 312 Game Studies Chair CarrieLynn D.

We know a lot about the various virtual worlds, but how aware are we about what others are doing to know virtual worlds? How much are we learning from each other? Given the complexity of virtual worlds, is there a single methodological approach to study them, or should a multiple, mixed approach be undertaken? And if so, how? We are proposing a panel that is a structured discussion of people with different methodological approaches to discuss, in a series of rounds, what they do when they study virtual worlds. It is hoped that both panelists and attendees will leave this session with knowledge about other methods and/or methodologies currently being employed to understand our common phenomenon of interest, virtual worlds. 4342 Network Analysis and Its Potential for Communication Science Thursday 11:30-12:45 Room 313 Sponsored Sessions Chair Thorsten Quandt, U Hohenheim, GERMANY Participants Studying Media Content From a Network Perspective: A Systematic Combination of Relational Content and Network Analysis Silke Adam, U of Hohenheim, GERMANY Theoretical and Methodological Issues of Communication Roles Thomas N.

Raupp, Free U - Berlin, GERMANY Organizational Communication Networks and Corporate Identity Franzisca Weder, Alpen-Adria Universität Klagenfurt, AUSTRIA Respondent Thorsten Quandt, U Hohenheim, GERMANY Social networks exist in different ways, they include individuals, organizations or interactions. Challenges for a theoretical research arise concerning the network dynamics of communication, coordination and cooperation. Communication science provides terminologies and theoretical constructs which most notably may refine the analysis of network-like relationship contexts. The panel will work out the potential of network analysis as a research method in reflecting possible ways of operationalization of communicator and contentwise research questions. 4343 Cultural Issues in Journalism Thursday 11:30-12:45 Room 314 Intercultural Communication Chair Sydney J.

Viswanath, Harvard School of Public Health, USA Michael D. Slater, Ohio State U, USA Bradford William Hesse, National Cancer Institute, USA Thomas Abraham, U of Hong Kong, CHINA, PEOPLE‘S REPUBLIC OF The U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) has a long tradition of funding cutting-edge health communication and health journalism research, and a rich history of partnering with schools of journalism, news organizations, professional organizations, and other institutes within the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), to fund and conduct disease-specific and statistical training for health journalists in the U.S. and abroad. Because the landscape of journalism is ever-evolving, it is essential for researchers to identify priority areas for future health journalism research, in order to inform funding priorities at the national level. Outcomes of the session will inform a large NCI/NIH funding initiative intended to allow communication researchers to expand upon current health journalism research to ensure that future investigations are responsive to the changing nature of news in general, and health reporting in particular. 4420 Mini Plenary: Urban Communication in Singapore in an Age of Globalization Thursday 13:00-14:15 Room 201 Sponsored Sessions Chair Gary Gumpert, Urban Communication Foundation, USA Participants Yu-Ning Hwang, Urban Redevelopment Authority, SINGAPORE Yap Kheng Guan, Public Utilities Board, SINGAPORE Singapore represents an unusual urban state that is governed and shaped by the uniqueness of a small citystate that is global and local at the same time. The physical smallness of Singapore means that any utility or service that impinges on land use is highly controlled and planned. Three areas that stand out are urban planning (where 85% of the population live in public housing), water use (where water is recycled, desalination of seawater is being piloted and where a reservoir is being created in the city, a walking distance from the convention centre) and traffic control, where a 1.6-litre Toyota Corolla costs almost US$50,000. The panel speakers are from government agencies that are tasked with managing urban planning, water and traffic in Singapore. They will explain how Singapore addresses the issues it faces and how a number of the solutions are being emulated by other countries around the world. The Urban Communication Foundation and the International Communication Association is bringing together a panel representing several intersecting aspect of Singapore's urban landscape. 4421 Miniplenary: Queer in Asia: Issues, Identities, and Communication Thursday 13:00-14:15 Room 202 Sponsored Sessions Chair Mark A. Cenite, Nanyang Technological U, SINGAPORE Participants Alex Au, Yawning Bread, SINGAPORE Audrey Yue, U of Melbourne, AUSTRALIA Respondents Larry Gross, U of Southern California, USA John Nguyet Erni, Lingnan U - Hong Kong, CHINA, PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF This mini-plenary will address the situations of GLBT individuals and communities in Southeast Asia, and the role of media, old and new, in creating and potentially transforming matters. One focus will be Singapore, where laws prohibit sex between men, studies indicate that the majority has negative attitudes against gay men and lesbians, and portrayals are censored in mainstream media with the rationale of respecting sensitivities. GLBT communities are, however, using new media to organize politically and socially in creative ways. 4422 Miniplenary Session, Feminist Scholarship Division: Im/material Principles, Material Practices: The Women's Movement and Its Media in Asia Thursday 13:00-14:15 Room 203 Sponsored Sessions Chair Radhika E.

Parameswaran, Indiana U, USA Women's Organizations and Experiences With Media Outreach: A Report From AWARE in Singapore Dana Lam, AWARE, SINGAPORE While there are dozens of books and articles on the women's movement's media productions in the U.S. (and hence attention to the material forms of this movement), we know virtually nothing about the ways in which women's movements in Asia have deployed media genres (print, electronic, and performances) to change women's lives. Studying the media of a social movement not only gives us insight into the mobilization of social consciousness, but it also makes visible and thus materializes a movement's contribution to national and global histories of collective transformation. Providing case studies of the women's movement's varied use of media in the Philippines, China, Thailand-Myanmar border region, and India, presenters on this panel will work together to fill a gaping hole in our knowledge of feminist agency in Asia. 4446 ICA Fellows Miniplenary: Matters of Communication: Making a Difference With Research Thursday 13:00-14:15 Theater Sponsored Sessions Chair Linda L.

Hans-Juergen Bucher, U of Trier, GERMANY Visual and Multimodal Analysis of Cultural Traits in Web Sites Luc Pauwels, U of Antwerp, BELGIUM Interactive Software for Multimodal Analysis Kay L. O'Halloran, National U of Singapore, SINGAPORE This panel will bring together international experts from Germany, Singapore, Sweden and Belgium to present different disciplinary approaches to the pressing topic of visuality and multimodality. It aims to explore the theoretical and methodological connections between visuality and multimodality, two concepts at the interface of communication science, cognitive psychology, linguistics, and computer science. It puts the two related concepts into the larger conference perspective of im/materiality by forming a continuous cycle of theoretical and practical interactions, from the major theoretical prescriptions for document design to the practical constraints of the print or online publication method, to the cognitive process of translating the material, palpable multimodal document into an immaterial mental information unit, to the development of software tools for multimodal analysis. It takes visuality as a starting point, since vision is responsible for the perception of the majority of multimodal presentations; then it introduces several prominent theoretical views and principles of multimodality as a field of research, leading to an overview of the challenges for both visual communication and multimodal document design. 4531 ICT Use in Cultural and Political Contexts Thursday 14:30-15:45 Room 302 Communication and Technology Chair Rohan Samarajiva, LIRNEasia, SRI LANKA Participants Information Technology and Democratic Islam Philip Howard, U of Washington, USA Mobile Phone Use on the Israeli Home Front During the 2006 Lebanon War and 2009 Gaza Conflict Akiba A.

For stakeholders in academia, the question lies on how to effectively create and sustain an online research community; while activists or nonprofit organizations would be concerned about ways to leverage SNS in their bid to promote social causes and nurture the growth of civil society in different political contexts; lastly for diaspora, it is the question of connection and engagement in a collective discourse on a political and territorial issue of their motherland. Presenting cases spanning from the US, UK, Vietnam and Korea, this panel aims to provide a holistic perspective on the possibilities presented, with hope to contribute to the burgeoning understanding of SNS and its social and political implications. 4538 Parasocial Interaction Thursday 14:30-15:45 Room 309 Mass Communication Chair Helena Bilandzic, U of Erfurt, GERMANY Participants Horton and Wohl Revisited: Exploring Viewers' Experience of Parasocial Interactions Tilo Hartmann, Vrije U - Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS Charlotte Goldhoorn, Vrije U - Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS The Effects of Involvement With Celebrities: Examining Similarity Identification, Wishful Identification, and Parasocial Interaction in a Celebrity Effects Model Janel S.

Its appellations range from a spectacular "Oriental Las Vegas," a gross capital of casinos, to a successful showcase of "One-country two-systems," all depending on how you interpret it. This panel attempts to elaborate Macau from within and from a close examination of the tension arising in Macau from the influence of globalization, the pressure for economic growth, the wild-spread diffusion of new media technologies and the local aspiration to maintain a cultural identity, a stable family and harmonious society. 4543 Intercultural Communication Division Top Papers Thursday 14:30-15:45 Room 314 Intercultural Communication Chair Ling Chen, Hong Kong Baptist U, CHINA, PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF Participants Conflict Management Styles of Americans and Indonesians: Exploring the Effects of Gender and Collectivism/Individualism Su'udy Rizaladdin, U of Kansas, USA Yan Bing Zhang, U of Kansas, USA Cultivation Theory and Mental Image Jee Young Chung, U of Alabama, USA Kimberly Bissell, U of Alabama, USA Looking Inward With an Outward Thrust in the Age of Information and Globalization: Reflections of Nigerian Video Films and Industry Emmanuel C.

It looks at how contradictory ideologies and voices can be examined to construct shared identities and resolve social enmity, and how groups contend with policy to empower themselves in the communication and media arena. In Indonesia, the narratives of youth leaders are analyzed to reveal how peace can be negotiated among their communities. In Malaysia, the tension between the discourses of indigenous and universalist constructions of national identity is examined as a dichotomous dialectic. In South Africa, the policy on affirmative action that helps subordinated people find their place in the information sector is contextualized in relation to the country's cultural and economic landscape. In Thailand, grassroots initiatives towards the implementation of the licensing processes for community radio are studied to surface how governments can circumvent media freedoms. 4622 On News Blogs, Bloggers, and Blogging Thursday 16:00-17:15 Room 203 Journalism Studies Chair Frank Esser, U of Zurich, SWITZERLAND Participants Audience Responses to Controversy: Medium Comparison Between Letters to the Editor and Blogs Donna Lampkin Stephens, U of Central Arkansas, USA Nokon Heo, U of Central Arkansas, USA Comparing Legacy News Sites With Citizen News and Blog Sites: Where's the Best Journalism?

Open Space proposes a relational mode rather than a fixed object. Open Space is where technologies, people and places converge. Curatorial team: Patricia R. Zimmermann, Nikki Draper, Sharon Lin Tay, Nanyang Technological University; Wenjie Zhang, Singapore; with curatorial associate Jenna Ng and curatorial assistant Koon Yen Low. This Open Space/Singapore/Southeast Asia session investigates how new media installation art in two, three and even four dimensions generates fluid cartographies of new permeable spaces—material, imaginary, typographic, synthetic. All speakers will show examples of their works , and discuss the conceptual and design models they deploy to construct permeable spaces. 4635 Organizing by Dis-Locating Texts, Spaces, and Identities Thursday 16:00-17:15 Room 306 Organizational Communication Chair Francois Cooren, U de Montréal, CANADA Participants Decision-Making as a Situated and Dislocated Practice Sylvie Grosjean, U of Ottawa, CANADA Daniel Robichaud, U de Montréal, CANADA Strategic Plans as a Dislocating Device Daniel Robichaud, U de Montréal, CANADA Chantal Benoit-Barne, U de Montréal, CANADA Joelle Basque, U de Montréal, CANADA Dis/locating the Birth of an Organization Through Its Im/materiality Mathieu Chaput, U of Montréal, CANADA Organizing by Dislocating: From 'Putting Out of Place' to 'Giving a Sense of Place' Consuelo Vasquez, U of Québec in Montréal, CANADA Respondent Boris H. J. M. Brummans, U of Montréal, CANADA This panel brings together a set of empirical studies developing the idea of the "dis-local" character of communication in organizing. In line with the conference theme on the im/materiality of communication, the panel offers a discussion of cases in which the displacements of texts and artifacts achieved in interaction made organizing possible by extending its scope in time and place. The panel offers a discussion of cases aimed at assessing the heuristic and analytical value of the idea of the material and dislocated properties of communication in contexts such as strategic planning in a police organization, decision-making in a 911 emergency center, identity statements in the birth of a political party, and the spread of an educational organization throughout Chile. All these studies take up the challenge of describing both the local features of the episodes they researched and their extension in time and space using the notion of dislocation. 4636 ECREA Panel: Dissemination Strategies in Communication Research Thursday 16:00-17:15 Room 307 Sponsored Sessions Chair Francois Heinderyckx, European Communication Research (ECREA), BELGIUM Participants Cees J.

Polish scholars present outcomes of their empirical research dedicated to different aspects of political communication, professionalization of campaigns, models of political consulting, televised debates, political discourse, communicating with voters. They compare Polish campaigns with the American and Western European models 4641 Whither Asian Communication Research: A Roundtable Forum Thursday 16:00-17:15 Room 312 Sponsored Sessions Chair Eddie Kuo, Nanyang Technological U, SINGAPORE Participants Georgette Wang, National Chengchi U, TAIWAN Naren Chitty, Macquarie U, AUSTRALIA Koichi Iwabuchi, Waseda U, JAPAN Ran Wei, U of South Carolina, USA Jack Qiu, Chinese U of Hong Kong, CHINA, PEOPLE‘S REPUBLIC OF Clement YK So, Chinese U of Hong Kong, CHINA, PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF Kwangmi K. Kim, Towson U, USA In celebration of its 20th anniversary, Asian Journal of Communication published a special issue entitled "Asian Communication Research: The past 20-years, and the next", (Vol 20, No. 2, 2010), to mark the event. Nine scholars of Asian communication were invited to contribute to the special issue for a review and analysis of Asian communication research in their respective fields, ranging from international communication, intercultural communication, political communication, globalization, to new media. In this Roundtable Forum, authors of the AJC 20.2 special issue are invited to share their views on the future of Asian communication. Among the issues to be explored are: What the major trends and features of Asian communication research in the past decades? What are major issues raised in the debates on Asian communication? What are the directions that Asian communication research should take in the coming decades? The panelists shall speak on Asian communication in general and on their chosen area of specialization. The Forum will be open to the audience who may want to share their views from either an Asian or non-Asian perspective. 4643 Intercultural Communication Business Meeting Thursday 16:00-17:15 Room 314 Intercultural Communication 4644 Emotion and Media: Four Different Approaches Thursday 16:00-17:15 Room 325 Information Systems Chair Kathleen Custers, Katholieke U - Leuven, BELGIUM Participants Affective Dispositions and Media Choices Matthias R. Hastall, Zeppelin U, GERMANY Towards an On-Line Fear Typology: Vicarious and Imaginable Fear of Crime Kathleen Custers, Katholieke U - Leuven, BELGIUM The Impact of Interactivity and Physical Arousal Within Media Content on Affect Change Yen-Shen Chen, Florida State U, USA Cultivating Worry: Individuals' News Consumption and Thoughts About Developing Cancer Jennifer Kim Bernat, Purdue U, USA This panel aims to show that emotions and media use can affect one another in four different ways. First, emotions can influence media use, as Matthias Hastall showed in his contribution on emotional dispositions as predictors of media behavior. Second, media use can lead to changes in users' emotional states. Two types of changes are discussed. Kathleen Custers looked at how media use can elicit affective reactions (as happens when TV viewers experience fear while viewing). Yen-Chen Chen studied how media use can lead to physiological reactions which in turn change emotions. Finally, media use can lead to changes in emotions after media use, as Jennifer Bernat showed in her study on how news exposure affects cancer worry. Too much attention may have gone to the study of cognitive processes and cognitive responses. Emotions should feature higher on the agenda of future studies. 4645 Persuasion and Health Communication Thursday 16:00-17:15 Room 326 Health Communication Chair Nehama Lewis, U of Pennsylvania, USA Participants Applying the Extended Parallel Process Model to Exam Posters in 2008 Chinese Annual Antidrug Campaign Rui Shi, U of Pennsylvania, USA Framing Moral Responsibility: The Influence of Moral Emotions on Persuasive Health Messages Sun-Young Lee, U of Wisconsin, USA Framing the H1N1 Flu Pandemic: Effect of Visual and Textual Frames on Perceptions of Flu Susceptibility, Severity, and Attributions for Its Global Outbreak Norman C.

Collectively, these papers show how different communities are able (or not) to adapt technologies to fit their own cultural contexts and identities. It investigates the traditional cultures of Northern Malaysia where the rise of social networks permit the socially-sanctioned practice of voyeurism. In countries with advanced technologies, broadband networks allow youth easy access to information, and the panel analyzes how these search engines have altered traditional information seeking behavior among Singaporean students. In Indonesia, a virtual online rock band community is examined whose Website permitted fans from different countries to share a common identity. Finally, the panel explores how freedom of information in Thailand and Malaysia has been affected by the rise of blogging and by government responses to citizen journalism. 5122 Transformation of U.S. Journalism: Long-Term Trends Friday 08:30-09:45 Room 203 Journalism Studies Chair Ellen Graham McKinley, Rider U, USA Participants Can Public Policy Save the News?

Usher, U of Southern California, USA Vikki Porter, Knight Center for Digital Media, USA This roundtable session aims at discussing the histories of online, or world wide web, services at Public Service Broadcasters in several countries including Australia, Denmark, the US, Wales, and Taiwan. Unlike most of the existing literature about the histories of Public Service Broadcasters this roundtable intends to approach the histories of Public Service Broadcaster's online activities as a field of study in its own right and not just as an appendix to the general history of Public Service Broadcasters. Questions such as the following will be debated: How did broadcasters such as the ABC, DR, TBS, Channel 4 Wales, and Al-Jazeera English adapt their public service remits for a global digital platform? What were the differences and similarities between broadcasters in various countries? What can these histories tell us about a future for public service media in a globalised, digital age? 5125 Interpersonal Deception: Deceivers, Detectors, and the Role of Culture Friday 08:30-09:45 Room 206 Interpersonal Communication Chair Sojung Claire Kim, U of Wisconsin, USA Participants Increasing Deception Detection Accuracy With Strategic Direct Questioning Timothy R.

The management of public relations and of corporate social responsibility havs been found to take on increasing similarities, since both seek to manage stakeholder relations and therefore need to analyze multiple stakeholder groups. The panel addresses the theoretical and conceptual challenges and potentials encountered by the public relations field in view of the emergence of CSR and its spill-over into public relations and issues management by raising questions such as: how are the fields interrelated, how are they organised and organisable in practice and are they a thread or a benefit to each other? 5128 Matters of Communication: National Identity in Transition Friday 08:30-09:45 Room 209 Philosophy of Communication Chair Diana Iulia Nastasia, U of North Dakota, USA Participants In Search of National Identity in Contemporary Russia Anna A Popkova, U of Minnesota, USA Yuliya Kartoshkina, U of North Dakota, USA National Identity and the Media in Communist and Postcommunist Romania Diana Iulia Nastasia, U of North Dakota, USA Sorin Nastasia, Southern Illinois U, USA Cultural Identity Beyond the Nation State: Bollywood and FijiTV as Contributing Factors in Indo-Fijian Identity Charu Uppal, Karlstad U, SWEDEN A Fermented Filipino National Identity: Causes and Cure Louella Lim Lofranco, Southwest Minnesota State, USA Respondent Lana F.

Danowski, U of Illinois – Chicago, USA Respondent Axel Bruns, Queensland U of Technology, AUSTRALIA Internet scholars and webometrics experts have adopted various methodologies and theoretical frameworks to understand the web of relationships. Current attempts to depict and elucidate on online communicative and relational flows among linked entities tend to be static in nature. There is a dearth of empirical studies which adopt a longitudinal approach in mapping the transformations of relational and communicative patterns over time. In line with ICA 2010's theme and to address the existing research gap, this panel of four studies explores the intersection between the material (technological applications) and the immaterial (time). Deploying network crawling technologies, large-scale hyperlink network and textual analysis to examine technology use by politicians, bloggers and nations over study periods ranging from eight months to 10 years, the studies place the panel in the nexus of communication where the materiality of technology used to encapsulate evolving communications and the immateriality of time interact. 5132 Voting Friday 08:30-09:45 Room 303 Political Communication Chair Zhongdang Pan, U of Wisconsin, USA Participants Beyond Political Knowledge: Predicting Voting From the Multiplicative Effect of Media Evaluation and Exposure Hanlong Fu, U of Connecticut, USA Yi Mou, U of Connecticut, USA Coalition Signals and Vote Intentions Michael F.

While "mediatization" helps us to understand the vital role media have played in the transformation of what we call religion or spirituality, it is also a problematic term since it is based on an assumed, distinction between media and religion. This roundtable discusses both the usefulness and the limitation of the concept "mediatization" for analyzing the ever-growing intersections between religion and media in diverse geographical and religious contexts: Scandianavia, Israel, North America, and Korea. 5135 Theories and Taxonomies of Looking and Image Communication Friday 08:30-09:45 Room 306 Visual Communication Studies Chair Eduard Sioe-Hao Tan, U of Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS Participants Toward a Unified Model of Cognitive Aesthetic Processing Arielle S.

Holtzhausen, Oklahoma State U, USA Ansgar Zerfass, U of Leipzig, GERMANY Magda Pieczka, Queen Margaret U, UNITED KINGDOM Judy Margaret Motion, U of Wollongong, AUSTRALIA Respondent Oyvind Ihlen, BI Norwegian School of Management, NORWAY Organizations are sites of political struggle and power is the entity that integrates its various elements. Public relations practice often is accused of only speaking on behalf of those in powerful positions and marginalizing and disenfranchising less powerful stakeholders, making their views immaterial. This view of public relations, however, ignores the many perspectives investigating the possibility of public relations as a positive and affirming practice that has the potential to use power that can make marginalized voices material. This panel looks at four philosophical/theoretical approaches to public relations that have the potential to liberate and empower stakeholders through practice. Broadly speaking , the panel addresses power in public relations by interrogating it through a number of themes that lay the foundation for a rigorous debate on the topic: dialogic v dialectic communication; consensus v dissensus; local power v structural power; and organization v self. 5228 Invisible Systems: Theorizing Media as Infrastructure Friday 10:00-11:15 Room 209 Philosophy of Communication Chair Nicole Starosielski, U of California - Santa Barbara, USA Participants When Satellites Fall: On the Trails of Cosmos 954 and USA 193 Lisa Parks, U of California - Santa Barbara, USA Private Lines Through Public Spaces: Politics Issues Behind the Earliest Netting of the Infrastructures of Telecommunication Carlotta Daro, McGill, CANADA Cable Stations: Architectures of Community and Security Nicole Starosielski, U of California - Santa Barbara, USA Strange Infrastructures: The Unusual Systems Project Christian E. Sandvig, U of Illinois, USA ShinJoung Yeo, U of Illinois, USA Dawn Nafus, Intel Research, USA Respondent Jonathan Sterne, McGill U, CANADA Following on research that calls for a critical attention to the systems and infrastructures that underlie and support communication practices, this panel will present analyses of a range of media infrastructures, exploring both historical and contemporary cases. These include a critical study of satellite infrastructure, a discussion of telecommunications infrastructures in relation to the demarcation of public and private spaces, a spatial analysis of submarine cable landing stations, and a project on "reverse salients" in communication infrastructure in relation to various unusual systems. These projects will raise questions about the specificities of different infrastructural forms for communication (for example, the diverse effects of satellites, submarine cables, and telephones). It will also reflect on what makes communications infrastructures usual or unusual, public or private, failures and successes, and the ways in which these relate to broader changes in social practices. 5230 CMC and Self-Presentation Friday 10:00-11:15 Room 301 Communication and Technology Chair David Brake, U of Leicester, UNITED KINGDOM Participants Social Comparison 2.0: Examining the Effects of Online Profiles on Social Networking Sites Nina Haferkamp, U of Münster, GERMANY Nicole C.

These practices thereby highlight the fundamental processes through which the modern self utilises media and media discourses in its construction and articulation of identity through belief systems, memory, narratives of self and ordinary performances. 5235 Discourse Across the Realm of Organizational Communication Friday 10:00-11:15 Room 306 Organizational Communication Chair Alison Mary Henderson, U of Waikato, NEW ZEALAND Participants The Language of Interests: The Contribution of Discursive Social Psychology Andrea Whittle, Cardiff Business School, UNITED KINGDOM Frank Mueller, U of St. Andrews, UNITED KINGDOM Examining Dialectical Tensions in the Discourse of Organizational Telework Policies Jennifer L.

Through specific case studies of mainland China, Hong Kong and India and working from the perspectives of political economy, critical cultural studies, and post-colonial theories, Panel members analyze local strategies for negotiating with global capital and for the construction of indigenous expression and identities. The panel raises the issues of Hollywood's role in local societies, the alliance and the-tug-of-the war between local societies/government and transnational capital, and what comes after cultural hybridity. As manifested in these case studies, the complicity of global-local interplay will fundamentally change cultural landscape of the world. 5238 Fresh Insights Into Hostile Media Effects Research Friday 10:00-11:15 Room 309 Mass Communication Chair Yariv Tsfati, U of Haifa, ISRAEL Participants The Hostile Media Phenomenon: Triggered by Cognitive or Affective Involvement?

Gunther, U of Wisconsin, USA According to the hostile media effect, individuals highly involved in a controversial issue see media coverage of that issue as biased towards opposing positions, even if the coverage is actually well balanced (Vallone, Ross, & Lepper, 1985). The hostile media effect has been well confirmed in different thematic contexts in the past. Recent empirical research started to examine the determinants of audiences' hostile media perceptions, as well as their consequences. The present panel provides a fresh update of these latest studies conducted within this highly dynamic research field. 5239 The Influence of the Media on Political Knowledge and Socialization Friday 10:00-11:15 Room 310 Mass Communication Chair David Tewksbury, U of Illinois, USA Participants Collective Dynamics of the Spiral of Silence: The Role of Quasi-Statistical Monitoring Dongyoung Sohn, Ohio State U, USA Nick W.

Strate, IGS - Institute of General Semantics, USA Devkumar Trivedi, Acharya Nagaraj Marg, INDIA General semantics was introduced by Alfred Korzybski over 75 years ago, in response to the horrors of the First World War, as a means to improve the ways in which we understand, evaluate, and act upon our enivonment, in order to faciliate individual sanity and collective moral and ethical progress. This in turn led to various attempts at institutionalizing the movement, such as the Institute of General Semantics, the International Society for General Semantics (which merged with the IGS in 2004), various local societies, and most recently the Balvant Parekh Centre for General Semantics and Other Human Sciences in Baroda, India. The introduction of general semantics also resulted in a popular movement that peaked during the mid-twentieth century, giving rise to and influencing a variety of psychotherapies such as NeuroLinguistic Programming and Rational-Emotive Therapy, as well as deconstruction and poststructuralism in Europe and media ecology in North America, general systems theory and Buckminster Fuller's synergetics, the development of computer technology and interfaces (e.g., Douglas Engelbart, Alan Kay), literature (e.g., William S. Burroughs, A. E. van Vogt, Robert Heinlein, Frank Herbert), philosophy, education, economics, finance, and business, and of course the study of human communication. As we examine general semantics today, this panel will consider to what extent does it speak to contemporary problems and concerns? How does general semantics relate to contemporary theory and research in communication and related fields and disciplines? What contributions can general semantics institutions make to scholarship, to individuals outside of academia who are looking for practical solutions to everyday problems, and to out social systems? 5243 Individual Differences and Theories of Change in Cross-Cultural Study Friday 10:00-11:15 Room 314 Intercultural Communication Chair Young Yun Kim, U of Oklahoma, USA Participants A Cross-National Study of Social-Networking Services Between the U.S. and Korea Dong-Hee Shin, Sungkyunkwan U, KOREA, REPUBLIC OF Yeolib Kim, U of Texas, USA Culture, the New Ecological Paradigm, and the Environment: The Direct and Mediated Effects of Culture on Environmentally Friendly Behaviors Ashley A.

In response to this research imperative, this panel comprises four papers which study children's forays into online virtual worlds, focusing on the relatively understudied preschool to preteen group, aged around 3 to 14. It investigates a range of salient issues including the constraints of children's identity formation in virtual worlds and challenges in parental mediation of children's participation in virtual worlds, while exploring policy responses to online junkfood advergaming and the potential of virtual worlds in mediating inter-generational family interaction. The papers employ a diverse range of methodologies and includes research from Asia, Europe and North America, thus offering multi-faceted insights and international perspectives on children's online virtual experiences. 5321 Matters of Communication: Gender Identities in Eastern Europe Friday 11:30-12:45 Room 202 Feminist Scholarship Chair Diana Iulia Nastasia, U of North Dakota, USA Participants Dominika Michalak, Warsaw U, POLAND Eva Bognar, Central European U, HUNGARY Diana Maria Cismaru, National U for Political Studies and Public Administration, ROMANIA Yana Pelovska, Media Development Center, BULGARIA Lina Radziuniene, Vilnius U, LITHUANIA Kaja Tampere, U of Jyvaskyla, FINLAND Anastasiya Grynko, Kiev Mohyla Academy, UKRAINE Ekaterina Bondarenko, Volgograd State Pedagogical U, RUSSIAN FEDERATION Agne Tonkunaite, EKT Group, LITHUANIA Olena Goroshko, Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute, UKRAINE Ivanitchka Tontcheva Ivanova, Bulgaria News Agency, BULGARIA Respondent Sorin Nastasia, Southern Illinois U, USA This round table discussion will pursue a comparative and contrastive examination of gendered identities in eight Eastern European countries (Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine, and Russia). Participants will draw from historical data and interviews to refer to (1) the changes in gender policies and practices in the process of democratization; (2) postcommunist formulations of ideals about masculinity and femininity; and (3) postcommunist opportunities/threats for communicating gendered identities. The discussion will reveal both efforts to set gendered relations on principles of tolerance, and clashes between gendered identities. 5322 Participatory Journalism: Views of Citizens and Journalists Friday 11:30-12:45 Room 203 Journalism Studies Chair Thorsten Quandt, U Hohenheim, GERMANY Participants Audience and Journalists' Views on UGC: Exploring Normative and Practical Frameworks Karin Wahl-Jorgensen, Cardiff U, UNITED KINGDOM Andrew James Williams, Cardiff U, UNITED KINGDOM Claire Wardle, Cardiff U, UNITED KINGDOM Between Idiosyncratic Self-Interests and Professional Standards: A Contribution to the Understanding of Participatory Journalism in Web 2.0.

First, it investigates the relationship between public sphere processes and processes of democratization and de-democratization. Second, the panel focuses on nonWestern countries and regions, adding to the more dominant focus of public sphere research on Western countries. Third, rather than studying non-Western cases within the framework of area studies alone, this panel takes a comparative approach. 5330 Political, Technological, and Social Challenges in Wireless Policy Friday 11:30-12:45 Room 301 Communication and Technology Chair Charles Steinfield, Michigan State U, USA Participants The Future of the Public Phone: A Six-Country Asian Study on Telecom Use at the BOP Nirmali Ruth Sivapragasam, LIRNEasia, SRI LANKA Urban Planning Unplugged: How Wireless Mobile Technology Is Influencing Design Elements in Seven Major U.S. Cities Jan Fernback, Temple U, USA Gwen Lisa Shaffer, USA Mu-Fi's Digital Divide Attempt: Bull's Eye or Achilles Heel?

Political communication culture refers to the ideas, values, roles and perceptions that guide the interaction of journalists, editors, politicians, advisers and spokespeople. Comparative analysis of political communication often proceeds from the assumption that the specific form and content of political communication are strongly influenced by formal or quasi-formal attributes of national political systems and media systems. The importance of such systemic attributes notwithstanding, the panel proceeds from the assumption that cultural components are equally important for the media-politics relationship and its manifest outcomes. The panel brings together papers that link formal systemic attributes with cultural components and probe the existence of distinct national communication cultures and/or clusters of culture through comparative analysis of attitudinal data and interaction data from various European countries. 5334 Cultural Transactions and Histories in Asia Friday 11:30-12:45 Room 305 Popular Communication Chair Lin Zhang, Chinese U of Hong Kong, CHINA, PEOPLE‘S REPUBLIC OF Participants "Warring Media, Conflicting Discourse": Media Construction of Egao Culture Lin Zhang, Chinese U of Hong Kong, CHINA, PEOPLE‘S REPUBLIC OF Chinese Media Capital in Global Context Michael Curtin, U of California - Santa Barbara, USA Constituting the National Cultural Economy: The KOCCA and Cultural Policy Discourses in South Korea Jung-yup Lee, U of Massachusetts, USA Japanese Media and Youth Consciousness in Postauthoritarian Taiwan: A Discourse Analysis of Taiwanese Online Bulletins Hsin-Yen Yang, U of Iowa, USA 5335 Collaboration and Knowledge Management in Organizational Communication Friday 11:30-12:45 Room 306 Organizational Communication Chair Kay Yoon, DePaul U, USA Participants Information Insufficiency in Information Source Selection Li Lu, U of Southern California, USA Y.

Schaefer, Franciscan U - Steubenville, USA The Big Stick Behind 'Soft Power'? The Case of Indian Films in International Markets Sunitha Chitrapu, Sophia Shree BK Somani Polytechnic, INDIA Bollywood at Large: Who is Watching Bollywood Films? Anjali Roy, Indian Institute of Technology-Kharagpur, INDIA Cultural Connections in a Globalized World: The Power of Bollywood in the United States Kavita Karan, U of Southern Illinois - Carbondale, USA Respondent Radhika E. Parameswaran, Indiana U, USA The notion that planet-wide socio-politico-cultural processes are profoundly changing daily life for billions of people around the globe has gained increasing currency in recent decades. For South Asians, such connectivity has meant the potential to reverse previously unequal media flows related to Asian perspectives, culture, and values. Given this context, the scope and reach of Indian media - particularly the Mumbai-based segment known as "Bollywood" -- has never been greater, whether through international film festivals, film star tours, international co-productions, or global cable channels. Bringing together four presenters and a respondent reflecting a range of methodological approaches, this panel addresses this gap in the literature by exploring the role of popular Hindi cinema in the global flow of soft power. Our central focus is whether Bollywood cinema truly promotes India's economic-politicalcultural interests abroad, or whether external, Westernized influences are utilizing media flows to unduly influence Indian media and cultural practices. 5338 News Values and Conversations Friday 11:30-12:45 Room 309 Mass Communication Chair Denise Sommer, U of Leipzig, GERMANY Participants News Values: Approaches and Perspectives Benjamin Fretwurst, U of Zurich, SWITZERLAND News Values in Conversations About Media Content Volker Gehrau, U of Muenster, GERMANY News Values in Conversations About News Issues Katharina Sommer, U of Zurich, SWITZERLAND News Values in Conversations About Single News Events Denise Sommer, U of Leipzig, GERMANY News values have been regarded as journalists' professional selection guidelines. However, studies show that particular news factors similarly guide the audience's reception processes. If news values are linked to general human perception they should also play a central role in conversation and determine what type of information (from the media) we talk about as well as how we talk about it. Thus, the panel analyzes the role of news values in conversations about the media. It aims at understanding when and why these conversations occur and how they are structured. The first paper discusses news value theory and its implications for interpersonal communication from a theoretical perspective. Three empirical studies investigate conversations about media content reaching from general media talk to specific conversations about single news events. They inquire the characteristics of conversations about news with high and low news value and explore how particular news factors affect conversations about news issues. 5339 Issues of Theory and Measurement in Postconvergence Media Scholarship Friday 11:30-12:45 Room 310 Mass Communication Chair Roger Cooper, Ohio U, USA Participants The Uses and Affordances of Online Technologies: New(er) Ways of Understanding and Measuring Audience Activity on Networked Social Platforms Zizi A. Papacharissi, U of Illinois - Chicago, USA Theory Development and Postconvergence: Challenges and Opportunities James E. Katz, Rutgers U, USA Postconvergence Social Networking: The Mobile Facebook Emil Bakke, Ohio U, USA Active Within Structures: Integration of Divergent Theories and Measures Tang Tang, U of Wisconsin - Oshkosh, USA Roger Cooper, Ohio U, USA This panel will examine the opportunities and challenges of post-convergence media scholarship from theoretical, methodological, and empirical perspectives. Post-convergence implies that media and communication scholars will increasingly need to develop theories and measures that consider uses, effects, gratifications, and structures across media forms rather than to isolate concepts to a single medium. Today's media offer video, audio, and text for users to access when, where, and how they want it (e.g., mobile TV, video on-demand, personalized journalism). Individuals can also use media simultaneously, share experiences (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, YouTube), and access the same information through a variety of delivery systems. In post-convergence, media users are more concerned about content than the medium that delivers it. These dynamics create opportunities for theory development and integration, yet pose challenges for how scholars conceptualize and measure media uses, effects, and structures. Panelists will offer theoretical conceptualizations and empirical approaches for postconvergence scholarship. 5340 GLBT Studies Interest Group Business Meeting Friday 11:30-12:45 Room 311 Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual & Transgender Studies 5341 Building Civic Participation Through "Communal Gaming" Friday 11:30-12:45 Room 312 Game Studies Chair Shin Mizukoshi, U of Tokyo, JAPAN Participants Communication Infrastructure Theory and Civic Media Game Approach: Linking Theory and Practice Joo-Young Janice Jung, International Christian U, JAPAN Shin Mizukoshi, U of Tokyo, JAPAN Toward A New Model of Digital Storytelling Workshops: Media Conté Workshop in Local Communities Akiko Ogawa, Aichi Shukutoku U, JAPAN Masaaki Ito, Aichi Shukutoku U, JAPAN "Keitai Trail": Probing and Bridging People's Video Messages by Mobile Phone Kiyoko Toriumi, U of Tokyo, JAPAN Experiences in Media Play: A Critical Practice on Mobile and Mobility Tusey-jen Sophia Wu, National Chengchi U, TAIWAN Respondent Sandra J. Ball-Rokeach, U of Southern California, USA In this panel, we present four papers. First, Jung and Mizukoshi present a paper that theoretically discusses the connection between communication infrastructure theory and civic media game approach. The second and third papers present empirical design and practice of communal games in local communities. Toriumi presents "Keitai Trail," an experimental workshop for collecting and networking people's video messages recorded by mobile phones. This cultural play program derives from a Japanese classical word play and is technically supported by a knowledge support system developed in the Exprimo Project. Ogawa and Ito present their research on "Media Conté," which is a digital storytelling workshop connecting members of a community through exchanges of daily life stories. Story games and crossmedia platforms were developed to encourage and support everyday people's story-telling activities in a collaborative manner. In the fourth paper, Wu presents her work about "media play" in Taiwan. Finally, Ball-Rokeach, who formulated the communication infrastructure theory, will present comments about the overall panel theme and the four individual papers. 5342 International Encyclopedia Editorial Board Meeting Friday 11:30-12:45 Room 313 Sponsored Sessions 5343 Intercultural Communication Competence: Theory and Research Friday 11:30-12:45 Room 314 Intercultural Communication Chair Wolfgang Donsbach, Technical U - Dresden, GERMANY Chair Han Z.

An Experimental Study of Campaign Effects on Citizens' EU Evaluations in 11 Countries Michaela Maier, U of Koblenz-Landau, GERMANY Silke Adam, U of Hohenheim, GERMANY Respondent Wolfgang Donsbach, Technical U - Dresden, GERMANY In this panel we ask whether and if yes, under which conditions we find signs that the 2009 European Parliament election took up European conflicts, issues and actors - and thereby moved beyond the national level. We are looking for such signs in mass media's reporting and commentating (paper 1), in the campaign communication of domestic parties (paper 2) and finally on the side of citizens, i.e. their participation patterns (paper 3). Research that focuses on the supply side of information is based on the assumption that more Europeanized forms of communication are a prerequisite to also Europeanize citizens' voting behaviour. The fourth paper in our panel is seeking evidence for this assumption by experimental research: Does it make a difference for citizens' reactions if campaigns are more or less focused on EU issues, actors and conflicts? 5533 Mapping Networks of Political Communication Online: A Study of Four Countries Friday 14:30-15:45 Room 304 Political Communication Chair John Hartley, Queensland U of Technology, AUSTRALIA Participants Mapping the Australian Networked Public Sphere Axel Bruns, Queensland U of Technology, AUSTRALIA Jean Burgess, Queensland U of Technology, AUSTRALIA Tim Highfield, Queensland U of Technology, AUSTRALIA Lars Kirchhoff, Sociomantic Labs, DENMARK Thomas Nicolai, Sociomantic Labs GmbH, GERMANY Who Is the Star and What Are the Contents of Comments on Cyworld?

Tkach-Kawasaki, U of Tsukuba, JAPAN Mapping the Norwegian Blogosphere Hallvard Moe, U of Bergen, NORWAY Respondent John Hartley, Queensland U of Technology, AUSTRALIA The increasing availability and accessibility of detailed data and metadata on political engagement and public communication through online networks and social media Websites, and the development of more sophisticated tools and methodologies for capturing, analysing, and visualising such data, have made it possible to explore new approaches to the study of online political networks (cf. Adamic & Glance, 2005; Shadbolt & Berners-Lee, 2008; Kelly & Etling, 2009). Such approaches employ a combination of network crawling and scraping technologies, large-scale hyperlink network and textual analysis, and innovative approaches to visualising their results; in doing so, they shed new light on the level and nature of the engagement between mainstream and marginal political actors, news and alternative media sources, and the 'ordinary' citizens participating in everyday political discussion through a variety of social networking sites, blogs, and other platforms. This panel presents a number of innovative projects in this field. 5534 Matters of Communication: Connections Between Meaning and Materiality in the Representation of Political and Public Institution Friday 14:30-15:45 Room 305 Sponsored Sessions Chair ACOP Asociacion de Comunicacion Politica, Asociacion de Comunicacion Politica, SPAIN Participants Cibercampaigns in the South of Europe: Parties, Bloggers and Voters Víctor Sampedro, U Rey Juan Carlos de Madrid, SPAIN The Representation of the European Union in Political Advertising Rosa Berganza, SPAIN Comparing Media Representations of Spanish Political Leaders Throughout Crisis Miguel Vicente-Mariño, U of Valladolid, SPAIN 'Government Reputation' as an Intangible Value for Public Institutions: Communicating Spanish Local Governments Mario Garcia Gurrionero, U Complutense, SPAIN Maria Sanchez Valle, CEU San Pablo, SPAIN Maria Jose Canel, U Complutense de Madrid, SPAIN Karen Sanders, San Pablo U, SPAIN Psychological Effects of Social and Political Communication in Terrorism: A Criticism Theory Experimental Analysis. Ubaldo Cuesta, U Complutense Madrid, SPAIN Tania Menendez, U Complutense, SPAIN This panel presents research that explores the significance of intangibles in political communication. Panellists explore, first, how political values of different institutions (government, opposition and political parties) are represented (representations in TV spots and broadcasts and blogs of government leaders and of candidates are analyzed) during different political processes (political crisis and election campaigns). Second, it is explored how people react to the material representation of intangible political values. From the perspective of the concept of stakeholder, "government reputation" is analyzed examining both outcomes of public policies and citizens' perceptions of government leadership and performance. Since political values are embodied in media outputs, how citizens process information received through the mass media is analyzed. The panel is an opportunity for scholars to present work which helps the academy to understand the complex connection between meaning and materiality when talking about intangible values in political and public institutions. 5535 Communication for Security: Strategies of Organizational Emergency Communication Friday 14:30-15:45 Room 306 Organizational Communication Chair Gebhard Rusch, Siegen U, GERMANY Participants Integrated Crisis Communication as New Approach in Crisis Management Christian Neuhaus, U of Siegen, GERMANY Communication Ethics in the Context Communication for Security Christine Schütz, U of Siegen, GERMANY Mobile Organizations for Ontological Security During Disasters Benjamin Mangold, U of Siegen, GERMANY Improving Human Reliability Daniela Giebel, U of Siegen, GERMANY The Intranet as a Crisis-Information-System Mario Hannappel, U of Siegen, GERMANY The Dynamics of Disasters and Communicative Intervention Gebhard Rusch, U of Siegen, GERMANY Respondent Theo Hug, U of Innsbruck, AUSTRIA The panel presents and discusses results and approaches towards emergency communication at an organizational and public level from two research and development projects. The first one, "Proactive Communication Management During Emergencies" (funded by RWE), analyzed new possibilities of organizational crisis management and customer communication in cases of power outages (blackouts). The second project is still running and is part of the German Federal Government's Security Research Program which aims to increase civil security without limiting the freedom of citizens. The project "Emergency Communication for Security" (funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research) investigates and develops preventive, proactive and reactive strategies for communications support in security and rescue operations. Communication needs and obligations are addressed at intra- and interorganizational levels. Prerequisites and modalities of robust communication and media interventions are developed and tested using system dynamics crises and disaster models. The panelists present final and intermediate results from both projects accentuating issues of organizational communication such as integrated crisis management, intranets as crisis information systems, organizational communication ethics, mobile organizations, improvements of human reliablity, dynamical disaster models and time windows for communicative intervention. 5536 Communicating Meaning and Health Decision Making Friday 14:30-15:45 Room 307 Health Communication Chair Avinash Thombre, U of Arkansas - Little Rock, USA Participants Living Kidney Donor Decision Making and Communication Sandi W Smith, Michigan State U, USA Samantha Ann Nazione, Michigan State U, USA Carolyn Kay LaPlante, Michigan State U, USA Rose Clark-Hitt, Michigan State U, USA Hee Sun Park, Michigan State U, USA Randall Sung, U of Michigan, USA Alan Leichtman, U of Michigan, USA Effects of Entertainment (Mis)education: Exposure to Entertainment Television Programs and Organ Donation Intention Jina H.

For media studies, the "China question" is moving from the peripheral to the center, and from regional to global. "The perspective of China" is an emerging new approach that inspires the convergence of Chinese and Western academic thoughts. To include the China question and the perspective of China in global media studies not only makes subjective construction of Chinese media studies possible, but also opens up more space for pluralism and diversity in global media studies. This panel, organized by the Chinese Association of Communication, highlights the discussion of "the China question" among the Chinese academia and the exploration of "the perspective of China" in the field of media studies. The objective of this panel is to enhance mutual understandings between Chinese scholars and their international counterparts through its proposition and discussion of the perspective of China on media studies. 5543 Competitively Ranked Papers in Intercultural - Mass Communication Friday 14:30-15:45 Room 314 Intercultural Communication Chair Pamela Kay Morris, Loyola U, USA Participants Comparing Media Content Across Cultures Patrick Roessler, U of Erfurt, GERMANY Financial Services Advertising Over the Recession: A Cross-Cultural Study of Magazine Ads in the U.S. and Korea Hongmin Ahn, U of Texas, USA Young A Song, U of Texas, USA Yongjun Sung, U of Texas, USA Globalization, Advertising, and 2008 Summer Olympics Yuan Yuan, Rutgers U, USA In Search of Cultural Values: Examining Public Relations Campaigns in Multicultural Australia Marianne D.

While work still remains, this panel extends that literature beyond traditional boundary-spanning. It discusses how nationally, regionally, and transnationally, PR is not only substantially shaped by material locations (especially nations), but intersects with, and helps shape, those - often transitional - locations. Examining selective image projections from very different places, the panel considers shifting boundaries of contemporary relevance to PR. It pays particular attention to interplays between internal and external audiences and commonalities and differences between differently located initiatives both inside (e.g., national PR associations seeking better practices from transnational bodies) and/or outside (e.g., marketing nations/regions internationally). Although offering some specific practice guidelines (e.g., for place promotion; professional PR associations), the panel questions core assumptions of fixed limits to open discussions on challenges and possibilities - including a possible third way for PR between European and U.S. models - raised by current intersections. 6128 Imagining and Mobilizing Publics Saturday 08:30-09:45 Room 209 Philosophy of Communication Chair Ingrid Volkmer, U of Melbourne, AUSTRALIA Participants The Cultural Sociology of Public Debate: A Comparative Perspective Hakon Larsen, U of Oslo, NORWAY Speaking of Publics: Speech, Defamation, Law Andrew Kenyon, U of Melbourne, AUSTRALIA The Participation of Christian Religious Publics in the Controversy Over Gay Marriage in Canada: A Rhetorical Approach Joelle Basque, U de Montréal, CANADA Media, Commodification, and the Imagination of Religion in Late Modernity Stewart M.

Rice, U of California - Santa Barbara, USA The goal of this panel is to bring together recent research on a new topic: online consumer communities, which are online sites where consumers interact with one another about brands, products and/or services. Little research exists on this topic and this panel helps to fill the gap. Online consumer communities can take many forms. They can be company-created, consumer-created, or third-party created. Four empirical papers will be presented followed by a response by former ICA President Ronald E. Rice, a recognized expert on online communities and social media. The panel topics range from those related to the technology that supports consumer communities (features, interactivity, innovation) to those related to psychological, social and communicative practices (authenticity, participation, influence). Online consumer communities can bring real value and meaning to brands and to users. 6221 Building Bridges of Meaning Across Distance and Difference: Studies of Youth-Designed Social Networking Saturday 10:00-11:15 Room 202 Children Adolescents and Media Chair Mark Evan Nelson, National Institute of Education, Singapore, SINGAPORE Participants Space2Cre8: Lessons Learned Thus Far Glynda A.

Based on the analysis of quantitative and qualitative data collected online and at each site of participation over a two-year period, we discuss material and immaterial constraints on and facilitators of communication and collaboration within the network and suggest the vital relation of sustained participation, hospitality, ingenuity, playfulness, and dialogicality to such emerging networked literacy practices. In so doing, we aim to identify and elucidate essential qualities of the 'new literacies' required for meaningful, equitable participation in the global, digital present and future. 6222 Comparing Journalism Cross-Nationally Saturday 10:00-11:15 Room 203 Journalism Studies Chair Katerina Tsetsura, U of Oklahoma, USA Participants Western Journalism's "Other": The Legacy of the Cold War in the Study of Media Systems Piotr Michal Szpunar, U of Pennsylvania, USA Does Market-Driven Journalism Lead to Sensationalism in Television News?

In particular, Southeast Asia makes for an interesting case study for social media, especially blogs and social networking sites, because of the economic, political and cultural diversity of the region, which influence the way social media is utilised. With its experienced academic and industry panelists in the areas of political discourse, marketing and advertising, the panel aims to generate discussion on how social media in Southeast Asia has made an impact on political discussions and advertising and marketing strategies, given its affordances. Intercultural communication will be drawn into the discussion to address the transitions of different cultures into the virtual world. The state of social media in Southeast Asia as well as upcoming social media trends in the region and its implications on interpersonal communication will also be discussed. 6226 Public and Private Discourse in Multilingual Malaysia: Relating Microlevel Linguistic Strategies to Macrolevel Social Realities Saturday 10:00-11:15 Room 207 Language & Social Interaction Participants Discourses of Advertising in Malaysia: "Think and Act Local and Global" Azirah Hashim, U of Malaya, MALAYSIA Malaysian Lawyers' Perceptions of Accommodation Strategies Used in Courtrooms Maya Khemlani David, U of Malaya, MALAYSIA Media Discourse in Malaysia: An Epistemological Critique of Language and Society Mahmud Hasan Khan, U of Malaya, MALAYSIA Peranakan English: A Case Study of the Informal Correspondences of Tun Dato' Sir Tan Cheng Lock Lim Beng Soon, SIM U, SINGAPORE Media Debate and Private Discourse on Language Policy in Malaysian Law Richard Powell, Nihon U, JAPAN Should sociolinguistic explanation restrict itself to micro-level motivations such as turn-taking and lexicogrammatical constraints upon communication strategy? Or is it legitimate and productive to look further afield to wider attitudes and perceptions shared by speech-communities and socioeconomic groups? This panel seeks to explore wider societal influences on individual discourse within the multilingual context of Malaysia. Touching on the domains of advertising, law, journalism, business and politics in order to illustrate a range of sociolinguistic and pragmatic constraints upon actual language use, the papers focus on language in private and public discourses in the varying contexts of nation building, multiculturalism and globalization. Discourse is explored in relation to society at large as well as ethnic and professional communities. Linguistic analysis of different kinds of discourse and forms and the relationship between these and contextual factors are highlighted. Linguistic manifestations of the different types of discourse indicate social, cultural, political and economic explanatory factors behind the linguistic choices found in the texts. 6227 Campaigns and Interactive Technologies for Social Change Saturday 10:00-11:15 Room 208 Public Relations Chair Jennifer A.

However, the use of his research tends to be based on a relatively narrow selection of his books. This panel will demonstrate Goffman's relevance to social situations and actors of historic media as well as contemporary electronic and digital media. Espen Ytreberg (U of Oslo) introduces "A Goffman for the media and communication researcher". Eric W. Rothenbuhler (Texas A&M U) discusses "Goffman, ritualized performance, media formats, and Top 40 radio". Lynn Schofield Clark (U of Denver) looks at "Erving Goffman, Arlie Hochschild, and the Issues of Communication and Control in Family Media Studies". Finally, Sonia Livingstone (London School of Economics & Political Science) offers "Goffman's 'participation framework' rethought for the age of Facebook". 6230 Media Effects and Avatar Power Saturday 10:00-11:15 Room 301 Communication and Technology Chair Frank Biocca, Michigan State U, USA Participants "It Doesn't Matter What You Are!": Explaining Social Effects of Agents and Avatars Astrid Marieke von der Pütten, U of Duisburg Essen, GERMANY Nicole C.

Carter, Brigham Young U, USA The Ethics of Research in the Neoliberal University Nick Couldry, Goldsmiths College, London U, UNITED KINGDOM The ICA's Role in Copyright Policy for Academic Research in Communications Sharon Strover, U of Texas, USA Respondent Christina Slade, City U London, UNITED KINGDOM Communications scholars depend upon unlicensed access to copyrighted materials, including television programs, newspaper advertisements, rap lyrics, and software, for their research. Exemptions to monopoly ownership rights exist in all copyright policies, none so ample and flexible as the U.S. copyright doctrine of fair use. How well do communications scholars understand and employ the exemptions they have, especially fair use? A survey of ICA members conducted by the ICA's ad hoc committee on fair use and academic freedom reveals a high level of insecurity about scholars' rights to unlicensed use of copyrighted material. It also documents a direct link between copyright insecurity and loss of scholarly research. A fifth of respondents have abandoned research underway for copyright concerns, and nearly a third avoided research subjects or questions because of copyright concerns. This panel discusses the survey's implications and proposes next steps to lower copyright insecurity for communications scholars. 6241 Traditional Communication Theory in Modern Game Research Saturday 10:00-11:15 Room 312 Game Studies Chair Vivian Hsueh-Hua Chen, Nanyang Technological U, SINGAPORE Participants World of Warcraft, the Aftermath: How Game Elements Transfer Into Real-Life Perceptions and Experiences Karolien Poels, U of Antwerp, BELGIUM Wijnand A.

Brooten, Southern Illinois U - Carbondale, USA Boris H. J. M. Brummans, U of Montréal, CANADA Francois Cooren, U de Montréal, CANADA Going beyond the occasional news clip from Burma, the acclaimed filmmaker, Anders Østergaard, brings us close to the video journalists who deliver the footage. Though risking torture and life in jail, courageous young citizens of Burma live the essence of journalism as they insist on keeping up the flow of news from their closed country. Armed with small handycams the Burma VJs stop at nothing to make their reportages from the streets of Rangoon. Their material is smuggled out of the country and broadcast back into Burma via satellite and offered as free usage for international media. The whole world has witnessed single event clips made by the VJs, but for the very first time, their individual images have been carefully put together and at once, they tell a much bigger story. The film offers a unique insight into high-risk journalism and dissidence in a police state, while at the same time providing a thorough documentation of the historical and dramatic days of September 2007, when the Buddhist monks started marching. 6346 ICA Closing Plenary: New Media and Their Impact on Censorship Saturday 11:30-12:45 Theater Sponsored Sessions Chair Cherian George, Nanyang Technological U, SINGAPORE Participants Censorship and Self-Censorship in a New Media Environment: Observations From China and Hong Kong Joseph M. Chan, Chinese U - Hong Kong, CHINA, PEOPLE‘S REPUBLIC OF The (Inevitable) Rise and Rise of Censorship of the Internet Peng Hwa Ang, Nanyang Technological U, SINGAPORE Censorship and Sensibility Josephine Ho, National Central U, TAIWAN Censorship is the intervention between a willing sender and a willing receiver by a third party who has some power over either or both of them. In practical terms, those with political power often exert a large say in censorship. However, the Internet is affecting the power relationship. Using examples from within and without Asia, this panel explores how state- and self-censorship are changing as a result of the interaction among traditional media, new media, state policies and social formation.
